From the context to the project of the enterprise.

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.

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 Prato's activities the comparison starts from products, customers, commercial channels and expansion projects, without assuming that the registration should be limited to the place of the seat.

Assets to focus.

Design and details
