Legal Support in the Protection of Trademarks, Copyright, and Intellectual Property Rights

In a digital and highly competitive environment, a brand, creative work, and technological innovation often represent some of a business’s most valuable assets. Inadequate protection of a trademark, copyright, patent, or other intellectual asset may result in weakened brand value, infringement of rights, commercial loss, and lengthy disputes.

L&L Consulting provides legal support in intellectual property matters from registration and legal protection to licensing and commercialization. Our goal is to help identify your intellectual assets, choose the right protection strategy, and manage them in a legally sound manner both in Georgia and, where necessary, in the international context.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is trademark registration necessary if I have already been using my brand for years?

Actual use of a brand does not always create sufficient legal protection. Registration significantly strengthens your legal position and makes it easier to use available protection mechanisms if a third party infringes your rights.

What is the difference between a trademark and a copyright?

A trademark protects a brand identifier, for example, a name, logo, or slogan. Copyright, by contrast, protects the creative work itself, such as text, design, images, music, video, software code, and other relevant works. In practice, both mechanisms are often used together within the same project.

Is the software or an app protected?

Yes. Software code is an important object of intellectual property protection. However, its protection, use, commercialization, and the legal relationship with developers require properly drafted confidentiality, licensing, and assignment agreements.

What can I do if someone is using my logo or content?

The first step is to assess the form of infringement, the scale of use, and the legal mechanisms available. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve sending a warning letter, pursuing administrative action, using customs mechanisms, or initiating legal proceedings.

How does international protection work?

That depends on the type of intellectual asset involved, the countries in which it will be used, and the protection mechanisms required. In the international context, choosing the right strategy is especially important for brands, technology, and digital products.
