Speakers at the Geber Brand Marketing Master Class

Any business needs to work hard to reach customers and do so using the most efficient methods. Over the last 10 years, digital marketing in all its forms has come up as essential parts of the marketer’s toolbox. At the same time it is interesting to note that these seminars themselves show how important the face to face meetings are for connecting with people.
Brands Need to Be Protected
The more that companies put themselves out there to reach and communicate with customers and other stakeholders, the more important the issue of trademark protection becomes. Just like identity theft is a growing problem for individuals, counterfeiting and trademark squatting is a huge problem for companies.
MUSA Trademark’s Jessie Chou talked about how companies should be more vigilant about protecting their good name. Many companies either forget about registering trademarks all together, or they register in the wrong trademark classes or the wrong countries. Many companies register a trademark when they first start their companies but later when they expand to new products and new markets they forget to also expand their protection.
