IP Board Advisory Services
Clarity. Compliance. Confidence.
Expert IP Advice. Confident Decisions.
Building a brand is a commercial decision, not a form-filling exercise. The brandU Legal Virtual IP Advisory Service gives founders and leadership teams direct access to senior IP expertise to help you make the right calls early and with a clear roadmap for trade marks, naming risk, and brand protection. In Australia and globally.
Our Virtual IP Advisory Services help founders and business owners make fast, confident decisions early, so you can invest in your brand with certainty and without the overheads of a in-house IP hire.
What is it and Who is it for?
Think of it as fractional IP counsel for your brand. A structured, strategy led advisory session where we help you:
- assess your brand and naming risk in Australia and abroad
- clear registration strategies – what and when to protect your brand
- align trade mark scope with your go-to-market plan
- avoid costly rebrands and avoidable objections
- build an IP story you can confidently share with investors, retailers, platforms and partners.
Our Virtual IP Advisory Services are best suited to:
- founders about to launch or rebrand and wanting a go/no-go view
- founders who want senior legal guidance, but don’t need a full in-house IP hire
- startups raising capital or entering an eccelerator/incubator
- teams expanding product lines or moving into new markets
- businesses building a name led brand
Depending on your stage and goals, our Virtual IP Advisory outcomes may include:
- Risk view – a practical assessment of registrability and brand risk including what the real risks are, and how to manage them.
- Protection strategy – what to file and what not to file, and why,
- Class strategy – a defensible scope aligned to what you sell now and what’s coming next.
- Filing pathway – the right approach for your circumstances including whether to file now, use a staged approach, or rework the brand first.
- Brand protection roadmap – how to monitor, enforce, and protect your brand as you grow.
- Commercial guardrails – ownership basics and future-proofing for co-founds, contractors and collaborators.
If you’re planning overseas expansion, we can also map the options for international protection and sequencing.
