Comprehensive Brand Protection on a global scale

Operating as an international multibrand company, bpost required a customised, scalable system to protect its extensive brand portfolio across the globe. We designed a tailored Brand Protection plan to meet the needs of different markets and preventively address any risks that could arise. bpost operates under multiple brand names, including Radial (USA), Landmark Global, Apple Express (Canada), Dynagroup (Europe), Ubiway Retail, and Press Shop (Belgium). Each brand received a unique level of protection, assessed based on market position and threat level.

Trademark Monitoring & Online security

With the growth of online and e-commerce activities, domain name protection has become an essential part of bpost’s brand security strategy. We ensured that bpost’s domain names were carefully selected, registered, and monitored to prevent any conflicts or misuse. This vigilance helped protect the brand’s reputation from being harmed by conflicting domains or misappropriation. Our consistent monitoring and preventive measures allowed bpost to continue delivering confidently on a global scale.

Result

Our ongoing collaboration with bpost has resulted in a robust, flexible Brand Protection framework that effectively secures their extensive brand portfolio. By safeguarding both physical trademarks and digital domains, we have helped bpost maintain its competitive edge, ensure market consistency, and protect its reputation as a trusted global player in the postal and logistics industry.
