IP plays a crucial role in business acquisitions and, according to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), makes up around 80% of a company’s worth. We always advise applying to register your trade mark at the earliest opportunity. Chloe Fernandez, Paralegal in our Commercial team, has written an article discussing trade marks and how you can apply for them, which can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eP93nhhV Alternatively, you can read more about how our team can help with intellectual property here: https://lnkd.in/e3cHY5av #intellectualproperty #ip #trademark
