Break it down for me... What is IP?
More than just © ™ ® symbols.
The long and short of it is IP refers to the intangible property rights that result from your ingenuity. The core IP rights that you are probably aware of are copyright, patents and trade marks. But did you know you can also protect and commercialise designs, plant breeder rights, circuit layouts and confidential information.
What can be protected?
The obvious (logos) and the not-so-obvious (blogs) can be protected. To give you an idea, here is a short list of things that commonly come across our desk.
Words, slogans and symbols
Company names
Logos
Images
Music
Websites
Designs
Trade secrets
Blogs
If there is anything you can do to help your business grow, it is to engage in a good brand protection strategy. And this strategy includes an IP strategy which adds to your brand’s value.
Now, let us help you.
PREPARE to PRESERVE.
