Who we are, and
how we work
KYI helps founders, creators, and businesses protect, own, and commercially use their trademarks and copyright, combining registration strategy with careful drafting and practical enforcement.
KYI is a focused trademark and copyright practice. We advise founders, businesses, creators, and rights holders across the full life of their intellectual property: clearing and registering trademarks, securing copyright and ownership, drafting the contracts that govern use, and enforcing rights when they are challenged.
The objective is not merely to file rights, but to ensure that ownership, use, confidentiality, and commercial control are settled from the outset. We work in close, candid partnership with a small number of clients at a time, so the counsel you receive is clear, responsive, and precise in execution.
What working with us actually looks like
We take on a small number of clients at a time and stay close to the detail, from first clearance through to enforcement.
We clear the ground first
Names and rights are checked before you invest in them, so you build on something you can actually own.
Drafting meant to be relied on
The agreements that govern use, confidentiality, and ownership, written plainly and built to hold up.
Enforcement when it counts
When your rights are challenged, we act, from online takedowns to formal proceedings.

We tell you what is worth doing, and what is not, before you commit time or money to it.
