| | Tip#10 IP protection
If you have gone to the trouble to design a pack that is distinctive & novel in terms of pack style, shape, use of colours, branding, logos or layout – consider talking to a patent attorney about getting some sort of protection for it. Although IP or Trademark (TM) protection can be expensive, attorneys will normally offer some free initial advice. Again, the earlier you do this the better, because once your ideas are out in the ‘public domain’ (as soon as you show them to anyone who hasn’t signed a secrecy agreement) your chance of protection is much reduced. |
