IP Protection / Brand Identity
IP Strategy Disconnected from Brand
Patent and trademark filings are proceeding independently of brand identity development. No shared timeline or cross-functional review between Ben Mauceri's IP work and Julian Bevan's brand design.
Requires: Joint IP-brand alignment session

Steve Weinstein's gel technology and packaging R&D has no connection to the IP filing pipeline. Novel card surface treatments could be patentable but are not being evaluated.
Requires: IP audit of packaging innovations
