About Protecting Intellectual Property
Intellectual property, (IP), is one of the most valuable assets that a company can have but IP is also one of the items that is possibly looked after worst. Company secrets, product knowledge and trade processes are seldom protected correctly. For the protection to be of any value you must follow certain procedures. The correct type of protection must be linked to each group of products if you want the protection to be of any value. If you are a designer or an inventor that depends on your IP for survival, then it is important that you know this information. You will learn the processes to follow that will help you protect your intellectual property from unscrupulous competitors. This course will highlight what you can do to keep your intellectual property reasonably safe and how you can optimise the benefits from protecting your rights to your IP.
