All rights reserved. Main challenges for start-ups • Challenge 2: Prioritization Startups usually do not prioritize IP as they are confronted with other priorities such as: - Developing a proof of concept/prototype; - Product launch/ marketing expenses; - Human resources; - Finding suitable business partners/investors etc.; - And making profits! 25 May 2017 16 Copyright © 2017 South-East Asia IPR SME Helpdesk. All rights reserved. Main challenges for start-ups • Challenge 3: Costs IP can be expensive: example of trademark costs in ASEAN for one trademark REPORTING OF FOR ONE MARK IN ONE PROVISION FEES FOR FILING PUBLICATION AND TOTAL CLASS APPLICATION PAYMENT OF REGISTRATION FEES THAILAND 385 115 500 PHILIPPINES 650 550 1,200 INDONESIA 880 330 1,210 LAOS 450 200 650 CAMBODIA 560 380 940 MYANMAR 950 Included 950 VIETNAM 650 120 770 SINGAPORE 850 450 1,300 MALAYSIA 850 400 1,250 BRUNEI 975 805 1,780 TOTAL FEES (excl. VAT 7%) USD 7,200 USD 3,350 USD 10,550 25 May 2017 17 Copyright © 2017 South-East Asia IPR SME Helpdesk. All rights reserved. Main challenges for start-ups • Challenge 3: Costs For patents, costs are much higher and in average of 3,000 USD per country (excluding annuities…) Copyright recordation is cheap (budget of 700 USD for an international protection under the Berne Convention- however protection may not be available everywhere: ex: Cambodia). It is essential to find a budget that suits your immediate and longer term protection needs as well as someone who understands your business plan. Spending a lot is not necessarily a sign of a healthy business, spending nothing does not look good either. 25 May 2017 18 Copyright © 2017 South-East Asia IPR SME Helpdesk. All rights reserved. Main challenges for start-ups • Challenge 4: Lack of IP strategy Startups tend to underestimate the importance of a sound IP strategy. This can be very costly: Ex of common mistakes: - Launching a product/disclosing an invention or design before a patent is filed means no future exclusivity; - Starting a brand without checking availability or getting a registrability opinion; - Forgetting essential contracts to secure confidentiality or to trace ownership of IP rights, especially copyright (ex: the Winklevoss twins/Facebook); - Missing opportunities to license/sell IP assets; - Turning off potential investors: Investors more likely to invest when IP is well managed. Thumb rule: The more IP is central to your business, the more resources you need to direct to protect it. 25 May 2017 19 Copyright © 2017 South-East Asia IPR SME Helpdesk. All rights reserved. Main challenges for start-ups • Challenge 5: Is protection really available? It is a mistake to consider than no protection is available: Read summaries of thousand of court decisions and not just the newspapers. In fact, ASEAN countries (except Myanmar) have quite robust IP protection legal frameworks.

  • ​Jewelz and Sparks Go Bananas About Elephant Parade
    German DJ and Producer duo “Jewelz and Sparks” have created a new life-size, baby elephant statue for Elephant Parade Oct 04, 2018 10:48 UTC Jewelz and Sparks go bananas about Elephant Parade International German DJ and Producer duo “Jewelz and Sparks” have created a new life-size, baby elephant statue for Elephant Parade to raise awareness and funds for Asian elephants. The new Jewelz and Sparks’ design draws inspiration from popular music culture, and their trademark diamond shaped logo. The design also features bananas, a food staple both for elephants that also happens to be part of the DJ duo’s travel diet. Whilst touring in Thailand, Gregor Brechman - also known as “Sparks” - had his first encounter with a real elephant – it was Mosha, the baby Elephant whose story inspired the created of Elephant Parade 12 years ago. Mosha lost part of her leg whilst stepping on a landmine and her plight moved Elephant Parade founders Marc and Mike Spits to raise money to have the world’s first elephant prosthetic leg made for Mosha. So began the story of Elephant Parade. Since the first Elephant Parade event in 2007, the welfare of thousands of elephants have been supported and a statue of Mosha has featured in every Elephant Parade since – a symbol of bravery and overcoming adversity. Following his meeting with Mosha, Sparks also saw many of the Elephant Parade art statues dotted around Chiang Mai and learnt about the work of Elephant Parade in raising awareness for Asian elephants in general. Elephant Parade® is a social enterprise and runs the world’s largest art exhibition of decorated elephant statues.

  • Magazinethe a Style to Remember
    MAGAZINETHE A STYLE TO REMEMBER No.12 THE MAGAZINE TARGETS INTERNATIONAL READERS WHO ARE INTENT ON FULFILLING THEIR DREAMS. his is what the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry had to say on the subject of vision: “If you want to build a ship, don‘t drum up people to collect wood […], but teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea”. Another, description, this time penned early in the 16th century by Tthe Irish writer and satirist Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver‘s Travels, went like this: “Vision is the art of seeing things invisible”. A vision is a description of how something should turn out in the future. The aim behind a vision may be rather ambitious, but it should not be divorced from reality. Visions comprise missions, values and strate- gies. For example, Christopher Columbus’ mission was to discover the sea route to India, but his vision was to esta- blish a trading empire, and of course he ended up disco- vering America. Values often exert a stronger influence than official orders, and strategy is a long-term approach based on fundamentals combined with the pursuit of strategic objectives over a lengthy time- frame. The countless exam- ples of visions and visionaries range from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to Henry Ford, whose vision was to make a car for the masses, to the more recent entrepreneurs Richard Branson of Virgin Group and Steve Jobs of Apple. GHM sets out to realise visions, too, of course. The Group’s very first resort, located in a rainforest setting, was a world first.

  • Elephant Parade Trier-Luxemburg 2013 – Fact Sheet
    Elephant Parade Trier-Luxemburg 2013 – Fact Sheet Elephant Parade® ist die größte Open-Air Kunstausstellung zur Sensibilisierung der Bevölkerung für die vom Aussterben bedrohten asiatischen Elefanten und die Unterstützung zur Bewahrung dieser Spezies. Gestaltet von lokalen und internationalen Künstlern ist jede Elefanten-Statue ein einzigartiges Kunststück. Am 19. Juli 2013 wird eine Herde von mindestens 85 lebensgroßen Baby-Kunst-Elefanten (ca. 1,50 cm hoch), gestaltet von Prominenten und international und national anerkannten Künstlern, die Straßen von Trier und Luxemburg erobern. Für drei Monate werden diese „Elefanten-Babys“ in den Straßen und Parks warten, bis ihre neuen Besitzer sie abholen: Nachdem sie die Herzen der Luxemburger, Trierer und der Touristen erobert haben, werden sie schließlich, im Zuge zweier großer Gala-Auktionen im Herbst 2013 versteigert. Was ist die Elephant Parade? Die Elefanten Parade ist wahrscheinlich eine der großzügigsten Unternehmungen der Welt. Ein Teil aller Einnahmen, die aus dem gemeinnützigen Konzept der Elephant Parade geschöpft werden, wird an die Stiftung „The Asian Elephant Foundation“ gespendet. Diese unabhängige Stiftung unterstützt verschiedene Projekte überall in Asien, vom Aufbau und Erhalt von Elefantenkrankenhäusern bis hin zur Grundstückspacht zur Schaffung und Sicherung von natürlichem Raum, in dem die Elefanten ausreichend Platz zur Paarung und für ein friedlichen Leben haben. Bis heute wurden über 4 Millionen Euro gespendet, um hunderte Elefanten zu schützen, zu heilen und ihnen zu helfen. Trotzdem befinden sich immer noch tausende Elefanten im asiatischen Raum, die unsere Hilfe benötigen. Die Elephant Parade ist eine nachhaltige Plattform, denn mit jeder neuen Elefanten-Statue, einem einzigartigen Kunstwerk, wird der Schutz der asiatischen Elefanten gefördert.

Asian elephants played and continue to play such an enormously important role in the past, present and future of Thailand. We have created an experience that is fun, educational and artistic. Through our art studios and work with elephant hospitals, Thailand has always been the heartbeat of Elephant Parade so it’s a natural choice for the Elephant Parade House. For the millions of people that have enjoyed Elephant Parade on their doorstep, there is now an open invitation for everyone to come to Elephant Parade House and visit the elephants where they live.” Elephant Parade is the world’s largest open air art exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks to attract public awareness and support for Asian elephant conservation.
