• Protecting your ideas is just as important as
  protecting your career. Allowing other
  individuals to freely use your brand name or
  company logo can definitely affect you and your
  business in the near future. There was a case in
  1995, when Continental Pharmaceutical Inc. was
  sued by 2 persons alleging that the former merely
  changed the whole design of their brand Panadol
  and made it his own of version, Conphamol
  which was then widely marketed throughout the
  whole country. After 16 years of continuous legal
  debate, the defendants won, leaving them with a
  staggering 1.2 million dollars for the damage
  incurred. Whats more surprising is that the 700
  thousand dollars was awarded to the defendants
  for the infringement of the copyright for their
  artistic work.
