Digital transformation in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 is developing very rapidly. The impact of technological progress is like two sides of a coin, where there is one side that has a positive impact and the other side has the same opportunity to spread a negative impact.
The development of information technology and the internet has changed the way our society lives, works and interacts. Everything is connected more easily and quickly. Talking about protecting Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in this digital era, we are all also faced with new obstacles.
Copyrights, patents, trademarks, industrial designs and trade secrets are examples of IPR. The owners of this intellectual property are protected under the law to obtain their rights. However, it cannot be denied that technological advances have made it easy to seize IPR.
Trademarks can be stolen easily through cybersquatting techniques, the way it works is that a third party registers a trademarked domain name in an effort to make money or even damage the brand’s reputation.
The emergence of E-Commerce platforms has also increased acts of product counterfeiting and the sale of counterfeit goods which has a direct impact on brand owners and customers.
Trademarks themselves are included in intellectual property rights because they are things that differentiate products or services to be unique and different from similar products. These branding elements include recognizable expressions, designs and symbols.
Trademarks can be protected by registered trademarks, manufacturing processes can be protected by patents, and packaging can be protected by copyright and design. These intellectual property rights ensure that companies can safely invest in the brands they develop to reap the benefits.
Now you are increasingly aware that trademark protection is an important thing to do. You can entrust the trademark registration process to reliable trademark legal services. Don’t let yourself reap negative impacts from carelessness in not registering your trademark.
