Ready to Make the Most of Q1? Let’s Check In On Your Intellectual Property!
The first quarter is the perfect time to review, refresh, and set your intellectual property strategy in motion. Whether you’re an inventor, entrepreneur, or established business, a proactive approach to your IP can make all the difference in reaching your goals for 2026 and beyond.
YOUR FIRST QUARTER IP CHECKLIST
Review your trademark portfolio. Are all registrations up to date? Are there new brands, logos, or slogans you need to protect?
Audit your patent filings. Do you have inventions or improvements that should be documented or filed? Is it time to review pending applications?
Check your copyright registrations. Have you created new content, designs, or written works that need protection?
Renew expiring registrations. Don’t let important rights lapse—calendar all upcoming deadlines!
Monitor for infringement. Is someone else using your IP? Now’s the time to check and act if needed.
Update your IP strategy. As your business grows, your protection plan should evolve too.
PATENT YOUR INVENTIONS. TRADEMARK YOUR BRANDS. COPYRIGHT YOUR WRITTEN WORKS.
