Icondia is the
first company to be granted the registration of a 'corporate
personality' under Guernsey's image rights
legislation.
Icondia's registration was approved on 22 July 2013 by the
Guernsey
Registry and is the first registration of a commercial entity
following the recent reduction of registration fees for 'legal
persons' to £2,000.
The Image Rights (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Ordinance, 2012 law
uniquely permits 'personality' to be registered as an item
of intellectual property.
Keith Laker, CEO at Icondia, said: "Registration provides a
potentially far-wider degree of protection than the traditional -
but limited - options such as registered trademark protection. We
view the corporate registration of personality as the best possible
protection for any company with an evolving brand image and
corporate identity. In the case of Icondia - as a newly formed
company seeking global recognition - that's important to
us"
