Advertising Mascots: Creating and Protecting in 2019
Topic
China has become a highly competitive market. Companies here are crawling to get just a few seconds of attention from consumers. When they succeed, infringers are quick to react and take advantage of what others have done. In that respect, creating and protecting in 2019 is way different from a few years ago.
Advertising mascots are key, with a growing range of forms (e.g. emoticons, GIFs, stickers, memes) and channels (e.g. flesh-and-bone KOLs, virtual KOLs).
The same goes for IP protection: new tools are available in 2019, and they should be taken into consideration.
Let’s see how developing advertising mascots works live with Benoit Raoult, the Shanghai-based guru in this field. Two major legal firms (i.e. LEAF and LLR) will also elaborate on protection tips and blockchain-style solutions.
Q&A afterwards.
