Trade Mark Support for Growing Companies

Growth changes the value of your brand

A company that is expanding into new services, new products or new areas may rely more heavily on its name and reputation than it did at the beginning. Marketing spend increases, more customers encounter the brand and the risk of confusion can become more disruptive. MG Octana Consultants helps growing companies think about brand protection before the next stage of investment becomes too far advanced.

Planning before the next move

Mandy can help you review what is changing in the business and what parts of the brand may become more important. This could include a service name, product line, refreshed visual identity or the main company brand. A conversation at this stage can help you understand your options and prepare for the trade mark registration process where appropriate.

Support with a commercial lens

Mandy brings wider business growth experience to these conversations, including an understanding of sales, opportunity creation and long-term relationships. Her guidance is not presented as regulated legal advice, and no registration can be guaranteed. Instead, she helps companies ask practical questions: what are you investing in, where is the brand going, what would confusion cost and when should a specialist legal adviser be involved?

What an initial conversation may cover

• The name, logo, product or service identity you want to discuss
• How visible the brand is now and how visible it may become
• What you have already invested in marketing, websites or design
• Whether similar names or customer confusion are a concern
• When onward specialist regulated advice may be appropriate
