- Renew your registration
- Keep your registration details up to date
- Prevent and respond to oppositions or infringements
- Use it for commercial gain.

Decide if a PBR is the correct type of IP to protect your idea.

Make sure you understand how long it takes to register a PBR and the costs involved.
