Registering is important. Defining what, who, and for what purpose is also important.
Useful protection must correspond with the real asset, its owner, the market in which it is used, and the way it generates value.
A trademark, a work of authorship, an invention, and a trade secret are not protected in the same way.
It's advisable to clarify who owns it, what uses are authorized, and in which activities protection is needed.
Contracts, licenses, assignments, and internal controls help leverage acquired rights.
The actual scope is defined after reviewing the assets, their background, the territory, and the holder's objectives.
