FAQ
IP, Trademark & Regulatory Services
What’s the difference between a trade name and a trademark?
+A trade name is your business's registered name. A trademark protects your brand (logo, product name, slogan) in a specific class of goods/services.
Can I register one trademark that covers all countries?
−No. You can file internationally through WIPO (Madrid System), but local approval is still required per country. We guide you through this.
Do I need regulatory approval before launching my platform or business?
+If you're in a regulated sector — yes. Maple ensures you have licenses from the right ministry, zone, or sector authority before going live.
What if someone is already using my brand in a different country?
+We help assess conflict, manage objections, and negotiate rights or rebranding where needed.
Can Maple also manage our legal disclaimers and ad campaign reviews?
+Yes. We align your marketing content with country-specific laws, especially in sectors like wellness, education, and finance.
