Look for opportunities to strengthen, streamline, and consolidate your trademarkprotection operations, and not only will the value and security of your brands improve, your IP spending will go even further.<\/p>\n<p>To download the rest of this article, please click <a title=\"Towards Better Brand Protection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cscglobal.com\/global\/web\/csc\/download-tbi-article.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several changes to the internet landscape over the past year have brought new challenges for brand owners, as Mark Calandra explains. &nbsp; There was tremendous upheaval in the intellectual property realm in the past year.
