Intellectual property protection

Why is Intellectual Property Important?

Most successful businesses, large and small, are built on intangible assets or IP. Intellectual property protection is critical to fostering innovation. Without protection of ideas, businesses and individuals would not reap the full benefits of their inventions and would focus less on research and development.

An important first step for any new business owner is to identify your assets and the steps you should take to protect them. A common mistake people make when starting out is to overlook their IP in this assessment. IP can be an invention, brand, logo, original design or the practical application of a good idea. IP is a valuable asset that distinguishes your business from your competition and can be your main competitive advantage.

Why should You Protect Your Intellectual Property?

Most small businesses are not aware that their trademark does not protect them in other countries. If you are an exporter, or think you might want to export in the future, you will need to seriously consider securing protection for your intellectual property (IP) in foreign markets of interest to you. It is a good idea to get the appropriate IP protection before you start doing business in another country.

Certainly, any small business that exports its IP protected products abroad or sources its products or parts overseas must take into account the potential for rampant IP theft in many countries.

Small businesses are at a particular disadvantage, however, because they may lack the knowledge, expertise or resources necessary to prevent the theft of their ideas and products.

In addition, small businesses generally do not have the level of access or the resources, such as specialized legal counsel, that may be available to larger companies.

What happens if you don’t protect your intellectual property?

If you don’t protect your intellectual property by conducting the necessary searches or applying for applicable registrations, your company is at much greater risk of:

  • Infringement, meaning a third party could prevent you from using your intellectual property, such as your name or logo.
  • You may not be deemed the owner of the rights in your website or other work product created for your company by independent contractors, even if the work is paid for by the company.
  • If the opportunity arises to sell your company or seek investment, not owning or having valid and enforceable protection of company intellectual property can negatively affect, and potentially even crater, a transaction.

Recognizing this disadvantage, Mavericks Business Consultancy has developed a number of solutions and resources for business Owners to help them more effectively tackle IP protection and enforcement at home and abroad.
