We are pleased to present the final episode of Season 5 of the Women’s IP World Podcast, Episode 8, featuring an insightful conversation with Elleson Fraenk, Founder of Vision Legalis Advocaten in Suriname. Elleson joins our host, Michele Katz, Founding Partner at Advitam IP in the USA, to discuss her journey in intellectual property law, the evolving business landscape in Suriname, and the importance of educating entrepreneurs on the value of protecting their trade marks, insights she further explores in her featured article in the Women’s IP World Annual 2025.

In this episode, Elleson introduces listeners to Suriname, one of the world’s greenest, located on the northern coast of South America. She highlights the country’s cultural diversity, eco-conscious tourism sector, and the growing commercial activity surrounding Suriname’s developing oil and gas industry. Through the discussion, she shares how these developments are creating new opportunities for businesses and increasing the importance of intellectual property awareness within the country.

A key focus of the conversation is Elleson’s article in the Women’s IP World Annual 2025, How Attorneys in Smaller Countries Can Encourage Small Business Owners to Protect Their Trademarks. Drawing from her practical experience advising entrepreneurs, Elleson explains the importance of educating clients step-by-step about intellectual property, helping them understand the value of their brands, and guiding them through practical trademark protection strategies.

Throughout the discussion, Elleson reflects on founding her own firm after years in private practice, driven by her desire to build a people-focused culture and help clients turn their business visions into legally protected realities.
