About Us
Your intellectual property is valuable.
Protect it.
Sound Like You?
-
Are you a busy entrepreneur, business owner, or content creator?
-
You know IP is an important asset but you aren't a big corporation and you don't have your own IP lawyer on speed dial!
- Are you a creative company or large corporation that cares about corporate social responsibility, and ESG, including social sustainability and respect for human rights?
- You are creating products and content and that means you have valuable intellectual property to protect.
- Our crash course will teach you to protect your trademarks and copyrights - like big companies do - but without the huge expense!
-
Partner with us to be intentional about your use of cultural heritage and cultural intellectual property in your branding.
Trademarks. Copyrights.
Fashion & Cultural Heritage
We help entrepreneurs and creators by efficiently teaching the core trademark and copyright information so they can protect and increase their business value.
We also help socially conscious designers, businesses and organizations identify and manage cultural intellectual property in their marketing and business activities.
We offer time-effective trainings for communities and entrepreneurs as part of our belief in social responsibility, intellectual property, & human rights.
Our multi-national team is here to help. Our head office is in Florida, U.S.A, but we have associates who have lived and worked on different continents.
