1. When should I register a trademark or copyright?

As early as possible. Registering your intellectual property protects your rights, prevents others from using your work, and builds long-term brand value.

2. Is my idea automatically protected by law?

Some forms of IP, like copyright, exist upon creation. Others—like trademarks and patents—require registration to be enforceable.

3. What happens if someone uses my work without permission?

You may have grounds for a legal claim. We assist with cease-and-desist letters, litigation, and enforcement of your IP rights.
