"I can see now that we really need to expand our brand protection and cast a wider net of protection by covering our trade marks in many more classes"
- Schick Group Brand Manager, Rachel Pullicino

"I think that we now need to make IP part of our inventory, this has shown me that IP can be a valuable asset and is so much more that just protecting your logo"
