Brand Protection: How to Make the Most Out of Your Brands

15 September 2021, 15:00–16:00 UK Time

Brands are valuable. A strong brand creates trust, binds customers and sets itself apart from the competition. Nevertheless, start-ups and medium-sized companies often do not know exactly how much their brand is actually worth and, above all, how they can successfully protect their brand.

Brand Finance partnered up with IP Consultancy, Meissner Bolte , for an online webinar to address questions around brand protection, brand valuation, and how organisations can get the most out of their brand.

Meissner Bolte’s trademark experts, Gernot Schröer and Markus Mainx shared insights on how companies should legally protect their brand(s), why this is important and what they need to consider in practical terms.

David Haigh, Chairman and CEO at Brand Finance, joined the event to provide his expertise on the importance of brand valuation, how brand value is determined, and how the ongoing monitoring of brand value and assets can benefit an organisation.

The presentations were followed by an interactive Q&A session with the audience.
