STRATEGY IP
By The Strategy Counsel
Our point of view
Protection should support what you are building.
Not every question calls for a large engagement. We start with the asset, the decision, and the smallest useful scope.
Tailored, not assumed
Ownership, use, audience, commercial goals, and existing rights shape the work.
Clear about boundaries
Searches, filings, office actions, and disputes are different projects—not hidden inclusions.
Built around your priorities
Choose a focused project or agreed ongoing capacity, with the professional fee clear before work begins.
By The Strategy Counsel
A focused practice. A broader perspective.
Strategy IP brings the brand’s practical, founder-led approach to trademark, copyright, licensing, and protection decisions. The focus is your work, the rights involved, and a clear professional scope.

Assess. File. License. Enforce.
Different services. Different responsibilities. Your engagement should say exactly which ones are included.
Assess
Review the asset, records, available rights, and risks within a defined scope.
File
Prepare and submit an authorized application. The agency decides registration.
License
Define the agreed permission, limits, and responsibilities in a reviewed or drafted agreement.
Enforce
Assess the facts and choose a supported response. A letter is not litigation.
