LOGISTICS & TRANSPORT AND IP
As a logistics and transport business, there might be legal needs that are more glaringly obvious than intellectual property. It is very rare for a logistics and transport business to think about their intellectual property until a breach or dispute arises.
However, intellectual property plays a significant role in the transportation industry. Multiple forms of intellectual property may overlap with one another. For example, a logo design may have both copyright and trade mark protection, and many inventions can be covered by both utility and design patent protection.
In general, it may be wise for companies in the transportation and logistics industry to have a coordinated intellectual property strategy that covers the companies’ jurisdictions.
