Discover the area →Platforms, e-commerce and digital identity. Online, the identity of an enterprise crosses domains, platforms, apps, content and marketplaces. Protecting a digital project requires you to link trademark, account ownership, name availability and material rights used.
The availability of a domain is not equivalent to the availability of a trademark. Before investing in the launch of a platform it is useful to organize a verification of the signs, the services offered and the territories, along with the technical and contractual management of the digital assets.
Brands, domains, app names and social profiles must be traced back to a consistent ownership and a usage strategy.
Code, interfaces, photographs and editorial materials require the verification of contracts, licences and suppliers' contributions.
Possible imitations, interfering uses or copies of content must be documented before evaluating requests to platforms and third parties.
Accounts registered personally by employees, domains registered with an agency or unclear licenses can complicate a transfer of ownership. An updated inventory makes it easier to distinguish properties, operating access and usage permissions.
An enterprise acquires an e-commerce. In addition to the trademark, the dossier must identify domains, code, content and accounts, specifying which assets are transferable and which depend on the conditions of the individual platforms.
Illustrative example: does not describe an assignment or a result obtained by LegalMark.
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.
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.
Domain registration and trademark protection are different paths. It is necessary to evaluate the sign, the services and the prior rights, as well as the correct header and management of the domain.

Find the territorial context of your activity and the path of protection. The numbers describe the statistical perimeter indicated, not the application for registration of the marks.
