In the information age, companies have the ability to reach potential consumers worldwide through social media, email campaigns, and Internet marketing, as well as through traditional marketing channels. However, opportunistic and unscrupulous people use many of these same tools to sell counterfeit goods and trade on the good names and strong brands of others. And because these people can operate from anywhere in the world, global brand protection must be central to a company’s legal and marketing strategy.

The primary focus of global brand protection is to ensure that a company’s important trademarks are adequately protected in key international jurisdictions. But company and product names are not the only trademarks that should be protected. Companies should also protect their logos, packaging “look and feel”, and perhaps even their product designs.

Although most nations have laws protecting intellectual property, companies must take the initiative to protect and enforce their brands if they want the benefit of those laws.
