Benefits of managing your IA/IP

By protecting your business’ IP, you can prevent others from profiting from your ideas and ensure that your business is fairly compensated for its innovation.

1. Competitive advantage: Protecting your IP can prevent competitors from copying or imitating your products or services, which can help maintain market share and profitability.

2. Revenue generation: Licensing or selling the rights to use business’ IP can be a valuable source of income for businesses.

3. Brand protection: Trade marks and trade secrets can help protect brand identity and reputation, which can be critical for businesses that rely on their brand recognition to attract and retain customers.

4. Legal protection: IP can provide legal protection for businesses, including the ability to sue for infringement and the right to defend against claims of infringement. This can help businesses enforce their rights and avoid costly legal disputes.

As a business, ignoring IP management can lead to legal liabilities, including the risk of being sued for infringement or for using someone else’s IP without permission. Legal disputes can be costly and time-consuming. They can result in significant damage to your finances and reputation, or even your business’ ability to operate.
