TESTIMONIALS
Karen Bashford
I’ve known Céleste through networking for some time. However, it wasn’t until recently that I decided to discuss the importance of protecting my business by trademarking my business name—my name.
During our 15-minute call, Céleste was incredibly professional. She answered all my questions and provided clear insights into the options available to me. The conversation was eye-opening; I hadn’t realized the potential losses I could face if I didn’t take steps to trademark my brand name. I’m grateful for the clarity and guidance she provided.
Jenny Lucas
I was booked onto an “Ask Céleste Anything” session to discuss the possibility of trademarking some of my client’s intellectual property.
Céleste was super knowledgeable and had specific answers for all the questions we had. It’s saved me and my client a lot of time researching the different aspects of trademarking and trying to apply them to our specific situation.
When what we were originally proposing to trademark wasn’t suitable, Céleste was creative, suggesting other options and giving us the benefit of her extensive experience.
Thanks to Céleste, we now have a way for my client to get the trademark protection she needs and I can’t thank her enough.
Philip Horrod
Céleste is an absolute expert in her field of Trademarking and protection of intellectual property (IPR), which she is able to discuss with her clients in a way that is easy to understand.
She is a well-proven public speaker, whether on a stage, a podcast, or webinar, as well as when hosting her own webinars, which she does with confidence and in a way that provides her audience with lots of valuable insights and education.
Céleste is also a really creative and competent writer, even having written her own book. It is one of the best I have seen on Trademarking and the importance of properly protecting intellectual property. Her social media posts are always fascinating to read and it’s because of this that she has such a large and loyal following on LinkedIn.
I can thoroughly recommend Céleste to any business person who wants to know about Trademarking and intellectual property and how to go about maximising the benefits of these, whether you are a service provider, or someone who manufactures or sells products.
Dave McColl
Céleste is highly skilled in her line of work, we have been discussing recently modern methods of working in terms of contracts and how they could look.
I don't know many people who do what Céleste does, I am grateful I have met her, the service she offers is incredibly valuable, her advice on offer in terms of Trademark, certification and IPR is second to none.
I highly recommend her , she is very much well worth speaking to. She is a very highly regarded professional in her industry.

Celeste provided timely and strategic advice on copyright clauses and IP rights for my business.
Malene Gregaard Wilsly
Céleste has helped me in the middle of the process of having my trade mark registered, the logo and the company name Powerjobsoegerne. It was a huge help to me, and I regret not knowing that such an option was possible from the beginning because the whole process would have gone faster and smoother. I recommend to all start ups that they make use of Céleste’s skills in relation to the trade mark registration - the process will be much swifter and you avoid having to deal with all the correspondence that comes with it.
Céleste has an enormous amount of professional
knowledge and is highly devoted to her vocation.
Nicole Dodd
Celeste has been very helpful in helping me understand that my brand is trademarkable. Her advice in understanding copyright and non disclosure protection have been invaluable. Allowing me to understand that my business is worthy of being protected. Knowing that this is a process I can hand over to Celeste is reassuring knowing that I won’t be wasting my valuable time getting bogged down in things I’m not skilled at doing and quite frankly don’t want to be doing is great peace of mind.
Peter Franklin Würtz
I, Peter Franklin Würtz, contacted Céleste, at GRAND IPR®️, following an interaction on LinkedIn. We needed to ensure the company's assets properly during the start-up phase because there are already quite a few who are interested in what we can and do. Céleste has a trademark package solution that we bought and we actually received more service than originally agreed. We appreciated that. I recommend that other start ups make use of her knowledge in the field of trademarks. Today our trademark is registered in Denmark, and it gives a certain peace of mind. We will continue with registration in other countries along the way. Thank you very much! Peter
Peter Neville
Thanks, Céleste for insightful and annoyingly good advice - that made me rethink aspects of our product launch.

Céleste m'a été d'une aide incroyable en 2021. En tant qu'entrepreneur en France, j'avais besoin d'assistance concernant mes Conditions Générales de Ventes et Copyright en français et en anglais. Céleste s'est volontairement proposé de m'aider, grâce à son incroyable talent linguistique et sa profonde connaissance en droits légaux! Elle parle couramment de nombreuses langues (niveau langue maternelle) de plus son expertise est de la plus haute qualité.
Céleste provided incredible assistance to me in 2021. As an entrepreneur in France, I was struggling with my General Terms of Sales and Copyrights in French and English. Céleste offered to assist me. Her uncanny knack of language skills and deep knowledge of legal rights proved to be the winner for me! She's fluent in numerous languages to a native speaker level of the highest quality.

I found my conversation with Céleste of GRAND IPR®️ to be valuable, professional and highly promising/encouraging.
She helped me to verify that my current path was progressive and appropriate.
I felt her advice/steerage in the future could be a very rewarding contribution to my growing business
Bjarne Mattila
Céleste is a sharp advisor who exhibits efficiency, precision and knowledge in her work. With a targeted and competent structure, she quickly drills down to the core of the case - delivering accurate answers, advice and guidance. It has therefore been a pleasure for me cooperating with Céleste.
Any company that develop or own a brand / intellectual property should have this as their top priority on their RISK Management list. This question belongs on the board / management level. Risk assessment of intellectual property abuse is a factor that can cost companies both money for legal aid and, not least, loss of prestige and negative reputation. In relation to the current situation - one can very well draw parallels - and thus it should be obvious to everyone, that it is not always just the "others" who fall victim. Thank you for your postings, your insight and expert knowledge, which is - as always - appreciated.
Michael Mackie
I received excellent advice from Céleste in relation to trade marking, certification and IPR. She has a wealth of knowledge and is exceptionally helpful. I would definitely recommend speaking with Céleste about your IPR requirements
Artem Smirnov
I highly recommend Céleste as a trademark specialist! She is such a PRO in everything she does. Céleste is a brilliant professional who helps her clients win in a really big way. I love her work! Happy to have Céleste in my network here on LinkedIn!
Jane Tai
As an ex-IP lawyer it's really great to see you getting the message out there Céleste. There is so much confusion out there about how to copyright and trade mark things. Your work is such an important and often forgotten area. I am constantly hearing about people whose work has been "stolen" in one form or another. So I would encourage people to contact you to find out how easy it can be to protect it.
Lorraine Ferrier
Thank you Celeste for guiding and supporting me with integrity and empathy through my recent difficult and confusing IP issue. I am very grateful.
Annette Wernblad
Aaaahhh, it feels good to have the legal details regarding intellectual property rights in my little empire in order and down in black and white. Thank you GRAND IPR®️
Chrystel Melhuish
I recently had a Skype conversation with Céleste from GRAND IPR®️ about helping her publish her first book on Intellectual Property Rights. We connected straight away and I was very impressed with the fact that she spoke so many languages.
I loved her energy and passion for her business, wanting to share her message and help business owners avoid getting in trouble regarding their intellectual property. I highly recommend getting in touch with her, she is a real source of knowledge and she will save you much time and trouble.

I have contacted GRAND IPR®️ a few times and I have felt every single time that I was in knowledgeable hands and got stellar advice that I can really use. I recommend to anyone who has a brand they want to protect to seek guidance and assistance here. Thanks for the help.

A superb introduction to the protection of Intellectual Property
It is all too easy to overlook trademarks when setting up a new business. Céleste has helped us out by writing a clear and concise guide to intellectual property, trademarks and copyright.
Céleste's book will answer any questions you have about your intellectual property and what protection is available for it.
After you read Céleste's book, you will be much better prepared for a chat with her to see how she help you to protect your intellectual property.

In a language even a blonde like me can understand😂
Seriously though, I love how Celeste has written this book; in non-legal speak. It’s ground-breaking to be honest. So often legal jargon can stand in the way of us all and especially of Business Owners when we want to rightly protect our ideas; it’s intimidating usually the language and the process. This book Celeste has written demystifies it all from start to finish. I whole recommend investing in a copy ! You’d be blonde not too 😂😅😘
(This was written on Amazon and I, Céleste, was allowed to add it here too)
Reg Goslin
I had an opportunity to read ‘Control Your Copyright, Trade Mark & More....’ by Céleste Reumert Refn. It provided an insight that I was fully able to follow to consider my options for my business. As I am not given to reading technical detail as I lose interest
quite quickly, this book was less effort to read a ndprovided the clarity that I was hoping for. It covers all aspects so it was easy to find the area I was looking for, which was brands. Well recommended.
5 star rating 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Such a great book! Céleste has a natural talent of explaining a subject that many of us don’t understand. After reading you will have gained so much knowledge. She is a fabulous resource and can help you if you need help in this area.
5 star rating. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Philip Horrod
This book is a must-read for every entrepreneur to understand just how vital it is to protect their business and intellectual property rights and what the potential pitfalls are if the necessary actions to protect them properly aren’t taken. If you want to maximise the value of your business then read this book !

Intellectual property rights play an enormously important part in modern society. Back in the old days, it may have been possible to run a successful business without knowing anything about intellectual property rights. Now, however, one has to have a basic understanding of them in order to be successful.
This is especially relevant if you are starting up your own business. You will need an internet domain name. Often it will also be a good idea to register your business name as a trade mark. In a number of situations, you can also gain a competitive advantage by focusing on whether the goods that you are going to produce and sell can, in themselves, be protected by an intellectual property right.
And finally, it is very important to make sure that your upcoming business does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. Otherwise, things can go wrong very quickly. This book is written by my friend, Céleste Reumert Refn. It is aimed at non-lawyers and provides a general, popular introduction to a number of intellectual property law provisions. I think it is well written.
Indeed, in some respects it is even entertaining. For even though intellectual property rights are important, they don’t have to be boring. I have enjoyed the book very much and I am sure that you will find it very interesting. I recommend it warmly. And I warmly congratulate you, Céleste, on finishing the book.

The world of trademarks is a minefield... What do you need to do? Is it complicated? What are the pitfalls? How do you navigate the world of protecting yourself? Fortunately Céleste is an absolutely expert in her field and rest assured with her in your corner to walk you through the process, advise you and take care of your needs, you can breathe easier knowing you're in safe hands!
Sindre Kaupang
Céleste gave a great talk at our Networking for Good event about trademarking. It was really interesting and engaging, and answered so many questions. It's clear that she has both a passion and deep knowledge of this field, which can be so confusing for so many.
What really stood out to me was her ability to simplify complex concepts and make them accessible to everyone. Her examples were relatable, and she provided practical tips that we could all take away.
And she also has an unbroken track record of 100% registered trademarks!
I highly recommend reaching out to Céleste if you have any questions about trademarking your brand or anything related to intellectual property.
AnYes van Rhijn
I have been running a female business network in Central London for 7+ years. Every month each group has a speaker on a business or personal development topic.
As a person who runs two businesses, I’ve always been acutely aware of the importance of protecting my brand and have protected three names.
That is why I’ve asked Céleste to do a talk on that topic so that our members could become more aware of the importance of trademarking.
Céleste shared some very valuable information both about the need for registering your Trade Mark, as well as the different possibilities you need to consider in the process.
Céleste is clearly extremely knowledgeable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone wanting to protect their brand.
Jørgen Søndergaard Moderator
Dear Céleste, Thank you so much for your excellent presentation about "Intellectual Property Rights" at GLOBAL-Network, Hørsholm Group. You managed to make a - for many business owners - complex business subject understandable. Without "threat", you highlighted the consequences of not having protected what a company might or ought to protect. It relates to a company's real asset / assets floating unprotected around the universe. You use brilliant examples / references that makes it easier for your audience to identify with the challenges and possible solutions. The participants in the network were very pleased with your presentation.
Angela Roth
Having worked with Céleste Reumert Refn, I am happy to recommend her as a highly motivated and intelligent professional. Her work is carried out to an extremely high standard as she will always go the extra mile to ensure that you get full value from any work she does for you.
Céleste has spoken within my membership community and shared some very valuable information with my clients regarding both the need for registering your Trade Mark, and the different possibilities you need to consider in the process. Her knowledge of her subject is second to none in my opinion, which is why I am very happy to recommend her work

LilyAnne Pilgrim
Thank you for a great lesson
I’m glad I’m attending. This whole area is rather scary. It’s like stepping into a deep dark forest full of wild and weird animals. Definitely good to have an experienced guide like Céleste to take you through!
Gehad Mursi
I am incredibly grateful to Céleste for helping me understand the critical importance of protecting my intellectual property. Her guidance has not only been insightful but also empowering.
What truly stands out about Céleste is her deep care for her clients. She goes above and beyond to ensure that we are not only educated about our rights but also feel secure in knowing that our intellectual property and content are well-protected. Her first day of the 5 day challenge has been an eye opener and I can't wait for the rest of the challenge!
If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care about your success and go the extra mile to keep you and your business protected, I highly recommend Céleste. Her expertise and personalised approach make her an invaluable resource.
Thank you Céleste, for all you do, which is hugely important in the business world!
Caz Hawley, HR & Coaching
So, I attended Celeste's 5-day masterclass which ran Monday to Friday for half an hour each lunchtime (UK time). I attended all five of those sessions last month, and what it taught me were some really important aspects around five key things: protecting content for my business, copyright, cashflow, credibility, and confidentiality. Just in those half-hour sessions, I picked up some really important golden nuggets. It also encouraged me to ask myself some questions about my business and to go a little bit deeper in some areas too.
I would highly, highly recommend this program—the 5-day masterclass—whether you're a new business owner or you've been established for quite some time. Either way, it’s a really great way to check that you've got all the requirements in place and to make sure that your business is fit not just for now but for the future as well. Hugely recommended. Thank you once again, Celeste, and yeah—do it, I would say!

I attended Céleste Reumert Refn's beautifully presented on-line webinar “Copyrights & Trademarks, Protect What You Own, Before Its Too Late.” Her expertise! For me, as a Creative, a Soloprenuer, and a Visibility Business Coach, whenever I heard ‘copyrights/trademarks” in the past, I thought ‘well that’s not
for me”.
Céleste’s well paced and informative webinar showed me differently! As she explained, trademarks are to protect my Intellectual Property…which is whatever I am inspired to Create. Which is, everything I do! I create programs, names of things, visual designs, branding, systems, my creative stuff. She showed what can happen when those things are protected, and what can happen when they’re not. Her beautiful English accent voice, and her well done visuals made what COULD be a dull legalese kind of thing… actually fun!
She is a wonderful connection between the creative side…and the legal. Because she understands the creative mind, she can speak to us, in an understandable, engaging way. I know, as a creative, that ideas are in the air…and it's very possible that 2 people can come up with a similar idea.
Or, sometimes people subconsciously hear something, and then innocently think they came up with the idea. Having the correct protections in place, done by someone who knows 'the what and the how’, and can handle all that needs to be done, like Céleste (so we can just keep on creating), well as she showed…. that can make all the difference in keeping your valuable creations yours! Keeping business moving along...
and what we’re know for in place.
