From the context to the project of the enterprise.
The first question is what version of the product you want to protect and who owns the rights. Prototypes, renderings and variants can evolve quickly: an ordered collection avoids confusing the initial project with what is actually put on the market.
The territory of activity helps to describe the chain and the partners; the choice of the protection markets depends on where the trademark and other assets are used. For the Turin activities, the comparison starts from products, customers, commercial channels and expansion projects, without assuming that the registration must be limited to the place of the headquarters.
Assets to focus.
Appearance of the product
Shape, lines, ornamentation and visual configuration require representations that can clearly describe what distinguishes the product.
Brand and collection
The name of the designer, the trademark of the company and the name of the collection can have different roles in communication and distribution.
Project and documentation
Creative files, drawings, photographs and contracts help to rebuild origin, contributions and permissions to exploit.
Prepare the first confrontation.
- Rendering, views and product versions
- Contracts of commission and collaboration
- First publications and presentations
- Markets, channels and variants
Indicates whether the activity operates in the capital, in other municipalities of the territory or in several regions. It is useful to distinguish headquarters, production, distribution and target markets. The confidential information can be shared after agreeing to the methods of comparison.
The passage to be checked
A creative commission should not leave implicit ownership, permitted use and possibility to change the project. The conditions with freelancers, studies and producers must be read together with the dates of publication and the territories concerned.
