Copyright and Design Protection in Thailand
Safeguarding your creative and commercial identity through comprehensive intellectual property registration
Protecting Your Creative Assets
Creative work represents one of the most valuable assets any business can own. From distinctive product packaging and sophisticated web design to compelling written content, evocative photographs, and original artwork, these creations embody your originality and define your commercial identity in the marketplace.
At Fig Tree, we specialise in helping businesses and creative professionals protect their intellectual property under Thailand’s comprehensive IP framework. Whether you’re an independent artist, product designer, or established corporation, we ensure your creative and design assets receive proper legal protection so you can focus on innovation with complete peace of mind.
Our approach combines technical expertise with genuine understanding of the creative process. We recognise that every design, illustration, and piece of content carries both personal and commercial significance, deserving careful attention and robust legal safeguarding.
Why Protection Matters
- Establishes legal ownership
- Enables licensing opportunities
- Facilitates enforcement
- Increases commercial value
- Prevents unauthorised use
Copyright Protection Services
Copyright automatically protects original works of authorship from the moment of creation, covering literary, artistic, musical, and creative content. However, formal registration with Thailand’s Department of Intellectual Property provides solid evidence of ownership, making enforcement actions and commercial licensing arrangements substantially more straightforward.
