Understand the scope of protection
An image and a short summary explain the true scope of each patent, trademark, and design — so every decision starts from what is actually protected.
- Use the summary and image whenever communicating with people in your organisation.
- Update the summary and image whenever the scope changes in a way that is significant for properly understanding the protective scope.
- Use colors in the image to make features easier to identify.
- For trademarks, list the most important products and services. For designs, list the most distinctive feature.
