Your business generates Intellectual Property (IP) such as your inventions, your creations, your product¡¯s name, your lists of customers and suppliers, and/or your know-how. Without proper protection (patent, trademark, copyright, or agreements) it can fall in the public domain and be exploited by your competition.
How can you protect and increase your company's IP value:
By negotiating business agreements and procuring federal and foreign registrations (patents, trademarks, copyrights)
By creating strategic business alliances with licenses and joint venture agreements
By training your work force in the value and protection of IP
By hiring IP specialists to audit your company for hidden IP assets, to evaluate existing IP protection, to plan further protection if necessary, and to augment the profitability of your IP
