Intellectual property is an important asset to your business. Far too often this is overlooked and your intellectual property is not adequately protected. It takes little more than knowledge of the appropriate wording and symbols and planning on your part to ensure that you benefit from the protection of your intellectual property.
The trade mark symbols on product packaging, copyright symbol on books, CDs and software, and patents inform consumers that the particular goods or services to which they relate come from your “brand”. They also let people know that you own that intellectual property and operate as legal notice of your rights. You can rely on the registration of your trade mark to stop deliberate, innocent or inadvertent infringement of your rights.
If you are not sure what intellectual property assets you own, the most effective solution is to conduct an intellectual property audit. An audit allows a systematic examination of your business to identify what intellectual property is owned, is being created by employees and contractors, is used and is being acquired by the business at a particular point in time. Please contact us to arrange for us to carry out an IP Audit for you.
