Fashion. Protect industry assets.

Fashion, accessories and collections. In fashion, trademark, product appearance and fast launch are closely linked. Clothing, footwear and accessories require a reading of the recognizable elements, creative relationships and channels in which the product will be presented and sold.

The strategy starts from the project.

The collections change, but some signs and details can remain central to the identity of the company. The strategy distinguishes the stable brand from seasonal innovations, selecting the most important assets instead of treating each product in the same way.

What assets to consider.

Brands and lines

Name of maison, logos, line names and other signs require a coordinated evaluation with products, territories and distribution.

Design and details

Forms of bags and footwear, motifs and accessories can be analyzed through tables, photographs and history of collections.

Chain and content

Drafts, photographs, creative materials and relationships with laboratories or licensors must be associated with clear authorizations and contracts.

The passage to be guarded

Shows, showrooms and social media can anticipate marketing. The documentation of the first presentations is important, as well as the collection of evidence when emerges a possible imitation on marketplace or at a distributor.

An example of the route.

A brand prepares a bag with a distinctive visual element and a new line name. Prior to launch, the path separates name research, design evaluation and agreements with the laboratory that produces samples and production.

Illustrative example: does not describe an assignment or a result obtained by LegalMark.

  • Brand Names and Collections
  • Agreements with creatives, laboratories and licensees
  • Sales channels and first presentations

At first it is sufficient to describe the objective and the state of the project. Technical documents and sensitive information can be shared at a later time, after agreeing to the communication methods and perimeter.

From industry to services.

The reading of the project allows you to choose the useful verifications: search on the signs, analysis of the technical solution, organization of the portfolio or preparation of an valorization operation. Priorities, times and territories depend on the concrete structure and activities that the company intends to carry out.

General information content. The forms of protection and any requirements must be verified in the concrete case and in the territories concerned.

Frequently asked question

What to collect when a collection is imitated?

Images, URLs, dates, information about the seller and documents relating to their rights and first presentations. The material should then be examined before defining initiatives towards third parties or platforms.
