A brand is one of the most valuable assets of any company and protecting it is crucial for long-term success. It takes years of work to build recognition and trust among customers. Threats to a brand can come from a variety of sources, so it is worth knowing what steps to take to effectively protect it.
How to take care of brand protection?
1. Trademark registration – legally securing the name, logo and other visual and verbal elements is essential.
2. Market monitoring – regularly checking that the company name and logo are not being used without permission.
3. Legal action – responding quickly to infringements, contacting lawyers and reporting unfair practices.
4. Looking after online reputation – responding to negative comments, building a positive image on social media.
5. Test shopping – checking the authenticity of products offered by purchasing and analysing items sold.
What are the most common threats to a brand?
– Counterfeits – cheaper, low-quality versions of original products can damage the image.
– Unfair competition – companies copying products, name or visual and verbal identity.
– Hate and fake reviews – negative, unfair reviews designed to undermine a brand’s standing.
– Copyright infringement – unlawful use of logos, names or marketing content.
