Ownership
We establish clear, durable ownership structures for trademarks, trade names, patents and associated rights.
Intellectual property holding company
Ideas deserve lasting value.
Civitas Brands B.V. acquires, owns, protects and develops intellectual property with a long-term view. We provide disciplined stewardship for trademarks, trade names, patents and related rights, creating a stable platform from which purposeful brands can grow through carefully structured licensing and collaboration.
What we do
A focused home for valuable intellectual property.
Our objects are broad by design: to register, acquire, own, hold, manage, protect, develop, exploit and license intellectual property rights; to act as a holding company; and to undertake all related activities that support those purposes.
Protection
We support registration, renewal, monitoring and enforcement strategies that preserve brand integrity and value.
Development
We help intellectual property mature through considered positioning, identity systems and long-range portfolio planning.
Licensing
We pursue aligned licensing and collaboration opportunities under clear standards and written agreements.
Current brands
Purpose-led names with room to grow.
Our present portfolio includes brands connected to child protection, public awareness and healthier digital environments for children.
Child protection
Stop Child Abuse
A distinctive international child-protection brand licensed for use in connection with advocacy, awareness and child-safeguarding initiatives.
Digital wellbeing
Not So Smart For Kids
A public-interest brand developed for awareness initiatives promoting a more thoughtful approach to smartphones, childhood and children’s digital environments.
Our principles
Value is strongest when stewardship is responsible.
“A brand is more than an asset. It is a promise that must be protected, developed and used with care.”
Clarity of ownership
Good intellectual property management begins with accurate records, clear rights and disciplined governance.
Long-term perspective
We favour enduring relevance over short-term extraction and protect the reputation attached to every mark.
Selective partnerships
Licensing and collaboration must reinforce the identity, quality and purpose of the intellectual property involved.
Responsible growth
We pursue development opportunities that are legally sound, commercially considered and aligned with each brand.
