IP protection is a part of your business strategy and matches your commercial goals. A simple IP strategy is to protect your product and service by getting patent, trademark and copyright certificates. The next step is to lock out competitors from the next generation of products.

The data, which is disclosed in the patents should be balanced with trade secrets, which know only a few people. Ignoring IP issues is quite dangerous. If your business is quite small – you are fine. Nobody, most likely, wants it. However, if the case would have commercial success – it will be copied by your competitors overnight. But this is only one angle of the problem. The second one is even worse. If you are a small business owner and you did not file a patent for your product, your competitors may do it and later sue you for infringing their patent. After that moment your time will be devoted to the lawsuit rather than your business or personal life. It will be a dramatic change in your lifestyle, and, believe me – you do not want it.

Approaches to intellectual property strategy are very individual. It depends on the type of goods (services) you have, the size of the company, your region, owners’ ambition owners and many more. This is one of the most interesting and challenging areas of our company business.

We will help you with pleasure in these matters.

And, in general, the essence of the IP strategy is making the future by predicting it and being the first on the market.
