Local Planning Notes
Port Credit IP planning should protect visible brands, event content, vendor-created materials, and customer relationships.
Public-facing names should be searched early
Business names, slogans, product names, domains, and social handles should be reviewed before signage and advertising become expensive to change.
Creative vendors should not control business assets
Website files, design files, social pages, ad accounts, event content, and photo libraries should remain usable by the business.
