THE TRADEMARK COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.
Our worldwide trademark community is distinguished by its sense of camaraderie, international perspective, reliance on partners in other nations to drive our businesses, and far-reaching friendships that span the globe. As an industry of educated and privileged professionals committed to international partnership, we are called upon to help our friends when their peace, stability, and sovereignty are threatened.
In this vein, Brand Action for Ukraine is a collection of people and businesses across the trademark industry coming together to provide meaningful on-the-ground help to the people of Ukraine. If our trademark community means something to you, help form our collective response.
Watch the video below to see stories of what happened to some Ukrainian IP practitioners in our community, in their own words.

Special thanks to Lisa Weiss from Storybeat Studio and Zach Moore of October for their wonderful work on this video.
Ways to Support
We are partnering with two highly vetted charities, World Central Kitchen, and, Support Hospitals in Ukraine, to deliver sorely needed medical supplies to hospitals within Ukraine, and food and water to the people fleeing the bombardment, right now.
Primarily, we are asking for financial support, however, if you would like to offer your time, please contact us.
Our Charities
WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN
With bombs still falling day and night, millions of Ukrainians continue to flee the country or relocate west to the city of Lviv. In response, WCK is rapidly expanding their #ChefsForUkraine response to distribute food—including hot, fresh meals—in five countries.

SUPPORT HOSPITALS IN UKRAINE
Hospitals in Ukraine are under immense strain that will likely continue for a long time regardless of how quickly the war can be ended. Doctors have been doing a consistently heroic job, but are in dire need of more trauma-related equipment and surgical tools.
Support Hospitals in Ukraine is committed to support Ukrainian hospitals with much needed modern medical equipment and supplies shipped from the US.
