Expanding your business or product into international markets is a big step, but protecting your ideas and brand in other countries is just as important. A patent or trademark registered in your home country does not automatically protect you in other parts of the world. Thatโs where international IP protection comes in.
This webinar will guide you through the basics of applying for patents and trademarks in multiple countries, helping you understand how to protect your invention and brand globally without getting lost in legal complexity.

Why Should You Attend
Expanding your business or brand into new countries is a big step, but if your intellectual property isnโt protected internationally, you could be leaving your ideas open to risk. Every country has different rules, and filing in multiple regions can quickly become overwhelming.
This webinar is designed to make the process easier to understand. Youโll learn how international patent and trademark systems work, how to file more efficiently using tools like the PCT and Madrid Protocol, and how to choose the right markets to focus on.
If you're thinking about growing globally and want to make sure your inventions and brand are protected, this session will give you the guidance and clarity you need to get started confidently.
Topic Background
When a business or inventor expands into global markets, it's important to protect their ideas, products, and brand in other countries, not just at home. Applying for international patents and trademarks helps stop others from copying your work or using your brand abroad.
But the process can be confusing. Every country has its own rules, and filing separately in each one can be costly and time-consuming. Thankfully, international systems like the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and the Madrid Protocol make it easier to apply in multiple countries at once.
This session will explain how international IP protection works, why it's important, and how to build a smart strategy for protecting your inventions and brand around the world.
