From businesses we have worked with.

PL

Preecha Luanglert

Bangkok · Food & Beverage

We were filing our brand name across three classes and had no idea where to start with the class selection. The team at Pranakorn ran the clearance search quickly, found a potential conflict we had not anticipated, and helped us draft around it. The application went through without objection.

Trademark Registration — May 2025

Siriporn Wattanaporn

Chiang Mai · Cosmetics

I wanted advice on whether our product formulations were protectable by trade secret or whether we needed to go down the patent route. The written note we received was genuinely useful — it laid out the options plainly and made clear which approach made sense for us given the stage we are at.

Copyright & Trade Secret Advisory — April 2025

AT

Anan Thongkham

Bangkok · Manufacturing

The petty patent process was explained clearly and the assessment of whether our device met the threshold was honest — they told us the claim scope would likely need to narrow during examination, and that turned out to be accurate. Still worth filing. Good communication throughout.

Patent Filing — March 2025

Nisa Kongsrisomboon

Bangkok · Technology

We came to Pranakorn with a question about software copyright ownership after a contractor dispute. The advisory note was delivered within a week, addressed exactly the question we had, and was written in a way that our non-lawyer board members could follow. That is harder to find than it sounds.

Copyright Advisory — February 2025

Teerawut Ratchadamnoen

Phuket · Hospitality

We were expanding our brand to Singapore and Malaysia and needed to understand the Madrid System for the first time. The strategy note we received walked through both routes — Madrid and direct filings — with a cost comparison that helped us decide. Simple and practical.

Trademark Registration — January 2025

Montira Phongpracha

Bangkok · Consumer Goods

Used Pranakorn to review the NDA framework we had been using with suppliers. The trade secret assessment identified two areas where our internal controls were not adequate to support a legal claim if a breach occurred. That was genuinely useful to know and we fixed it before any problem arose.

Case Studies

Three engagements in detail.

Challenge

A Bangkok food and beverage brand wanted to expand its trademark coverage to include a new product line but had already received a pre-registration opposition notice from a third party with a similar mark in an adjacent class.

Solution

We reviewed the similarity between the marks, the goods and services in the relevant classes, and the basis of the opposition. We drafted a detailed co-existence agreement that resolved the opposition without litigation and allowed both applications to proceed.

Result

Opposition resolved within 6 weeks. Both applications registered. Client saved an estimated ฿120,000 in litigation costs. The co-existence agreement has since been used as a template for two subsequent market entries in Southeast Asia.

Challenge

A Chiang Mai product manufacturer had developed a novel packaging mechanism and wanted to understand whether a patent was worth pursuing, or whether trade secret protection was a more practical option given the product's expected market life.

Solution

We conducted a patentability assessment and confirmed the mechanism met the petty patent threshold. We then provided a comparison of the two approaches — patent versus trade secret — with a cost-benefit analysis tied to the product's realistic commercial timeline.

Result

Client chose the petty patent route. Application filed with a third party technical agent coordinated by Pranakorn. Petty patent granted 14 months later. Client used the grant to successfully negotiate a manufacturing licence with a regional distributor.

Challenge

A Bangkok technology company needed to establish clear copyright ownership of software developed in part by freelance contractors over several years, ahead of a due diligence process for an investment round.

Solution

We reviewed the relevant contractor agreements and assessed which works were likely to vest in the company under Thai copyright law and which required assignment. We drafted a form assignment agreement and a remediation checklist for the team to work through with each affected contractor.

Result

All required assignments obtained within 3 weeks. The due diligence process completed without IP-related issues. The client now uses the standard contractor agreement template we provided for all new engagements.
