MARKETING AND PROTECTING YOUR BRAND OVERSEAS

 

Monday, 16th June 2008, 6.00 – 8.00pm.

Penningtons Solicitors LLP, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG21 4EQ

 

 

Brands don’t belong only to large corporates.  Most businesses have something their distributors and customers recognise.  Building the brand and protecting the intellectual property that a business has are vital parts of the international business development mix. 

 

We are pleased to have as Guest Speakers two people who have a wealth of experience of working in this area.  Chris Parker, Managing Director of London & Scottish International Ltd, will tell us how as a small business he developed his brands in the highly competitive global market that is the drinks sector.  Chris has spent 48 years marketing drinks, starting at Nestle with Nescafe and Nesquick, then London Advertising with Watneys Beers and Schweppes development brands.  Beecham took him to the Far East with Horlicks, Lucozade and Ribena and, since 1979, he has marketed Scotch Whisky and London Dry Gin.  Today he is the owner of the world’s only supply of Organic Spirits.

 

Martin Anayi is a solicitor from Penningtons specializing in branding issues, and will show why intellectual property and brands need protecting, especially in markets that are less than enthusiastic about the rights of protecting the owners, and how to set about achieving this protection.

 

Please plan to arrive at 6.00pm for refreshments in a friendly networking environment.  The presentation will start at about 7.00pm and the meeting will conclude by 8.00pm.
