The Sticky Side Of Diversification

The German adhesives manufacturer, DELO Industrial Adhesives, has announced plans to expand into the MedTech field. The company is one of the largest globally-distributed commercial adhesives manufacturers, and its already well-established expertise in bonding materials will undoubtedly gain quick traction in the field given the rise of wearable MedTech devices in recent years.

For any company that is already a leader in its field, expansion into a new market will be a carefully planned move. Intellectual property should form part of these plans, particularly in ensuring that any new activities are covered under the scope of existing trade mark registrations, or otherwise, by filing new applications to cover these interests.
