Trademark Team
Protecting App Icons
and Brand Identity
In the competitive app marketplace, your brand name and app icon are vital marketing assets. However, many companies overlook the importance of securing IP rights for these identifiers — exposing themselves to loss and legal risk.
Trademarks protect the value you build through visibility and recognition, while patents cover your underlying technology.
In many jurisdictions, trademark rights are granted to the first filer. This leaves high-potential startups vulnerable to "trademark squatting" by opportunistic brokers who preemptively register your brand elements.
At BLT, our trademark attorneys and specialists work closely with startups to protect their names, logos, and app icons — both domestically and internationally.
We also offer Trademark Map Consulting, providing country-by-country trademark availability checks, conflict assessments, and registration strategies to support international expansion.

BM (Business Model)
Patent Team
Business Model Patent Strategy for Digital Services
Business Model (BM) patents fall under software patents but require more than technical knowledge. They demand commercial insight and the ability to express a service’s core value in the claims.
BLT’s BM Patent Team brings unmatched experience from working directly with app startups. We understand how digital services operate — including dynamic, user-driven, or cloud-based interactions — and reflect these realities in our claim strategies.
Unlike physical products, app services require claims tailored to non-linear usage and networked architecture. With BLT, you can secure strong patents that defend your innovative model from competitors and copycats.

Design Rights Team
UI/UX Protection Through Design Rights
In saturated “red ocean” app markets, functionality alone isn't enough. Differentiation often comes through exceptional UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience).
At BLT, we help app creators secure design rights — particularly GUI (Graphical User Interface) design registrations — to protect on-screen visual elements across devices and platforms.
Design protection works in synergy with patents, offering layered defense for customer-facing innovation. Like global leaders Apple and Tinder, who combine utility and design rights to protect key user experience features, your business can benefit from an integrated strategy.
Our design attorneys support both global enterprises and fast-scaling startups in creating portfolios that evolve with growth and brand identity.
