Local Planning Notes
Pickering IP planning should protect technical assets, product identity, vendor-created content, and licensing relationships.
Brand expansion should be reviewed early
Names, logos, slogans, product names, domains, and social handles should be searched before broader advertising or channel expansion.
Vendor and partner access should be limited
Customer records, technical files, pricing, account credentials, and confidential plans should be shared under written limits.
