Methodology

How Each Engagement Begins

Every service starts from the same position: an honest reading of the situation before any work is proposed or agreed.

01

Initial Reading

Client describes the matter. Adviser provides an initial oral or written reading of the situation and its limits.

02

Engagement Letter

Scope, fees, and confidentiality terms are confirmed in writing. No billable work begins before this step.

03

Substantive Work

Filing, drafting, or inquiry work is conducted with client input at each decision point. Internal review before delivery.

04

Ongoing Monitoring

For portfolio work, deadlines and status changes are tracked and reported proactively throughout the portfolio's life.

Trademark portfolio management

Service 01

Trademark Portfolio Management

Considered, ongoing management of a trademark portfolio — including renewal tracking, watch services, opposition handling, and the periodic review of whether each registered mark continues to earn its place. The practice discusses the practical realities of expanding a portfolio internationally through Madrid Protocol filings, the tradeoffs each new jurisdiction brings, and the housekeeping that keeps the portfolio readable across years.

This service is suited to brand owners with growing or mature mark portfolios — whether Thai-based businesses with established marks or international companies seeking protection and portfolio maintenance in the Thai market.

Service 02

Copyright Recordation & Licensing Advisory

Quiet preparation of voluntary copyright recordation filings, license agreements between right-holders and licensees, and assignment documentation for transfers of copyright. The practice discusses the limits of what voluntary recordation does and does not provide under Thai law, and prepares licensing language that accommodates royalties, audit rights, and termination with care.

This service is suited to studios, software teams, and creative agencies who need to formalise rights arrangements, establish licence terms, or prepare documentation for content that will be used, transferred, or distributed by others.

Royalty structures and audit right provisions

Service 03

Knock-Off & Counterfeit Initial Inquiry

A short initial inquiry into a counterfeit or knock-off matter — including a written reading of the marks involved, the practical pathways available under Thai customs recordation and police involvement, and a measured view of whether civil litigation is likely to provide a useful remedy. The conversation aims to set realistic expectations before any larger engagement is begun.

This service is the appropriate starting point for any brand owner who has identified what appears to be a counterfeit or knock-off situation in Thailand and wishes to understand what can practically be done — and at what cost and likelihood of success.
