Intellecutal Property (IP) includes property of your mind or intellect such as an invention, trademark, original design, or application of an idea. As a business, it’s important to think about protecting your IP as soon as possible.
You can protect your IP by registering it, which gives you exclusive rights to your ideas, which can then be bought, sold, leased and transferred. This may include patents, trademarks, designs, plant breeder’s rights, copyright and trade secrets.
The key reasons for protecting your IP through registration are:
- Confidence for your clients or possible investors
- Exclusivity in the market place
- Added value in your goods or services
- Protection against possible infringement
Until you have discussed the registration of any IP rights it is important that you keep your ideas confidential to avoid those ideas being copied or exploited.
