<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What is Intellectual Property?<\/strong><\/p>\nIntellectual property (\u201cIP\u201d) is a collective term that describes a range of rights in intangible assets, including:<\/p>\n
\n- Copyright:<\/strong> protects a wide range of creative works, for example photographs, words, music, art, logos and software, from being copied.<\/li>\n
- Designs: <\/strong>protects the shape and appearance of goods such as bags, bottles and tablets, or in the surface design of materials, such as tartan and tile patterns.<\/li>\n
- Trademarks:<\/strong> protects company names, logos, slogans and packaging. A trademark allows customers to identify a trusted manufacturer of a product.<\/li>\n
- Patents:<\/strong> protects innovation, which was previously unknown. For example, Dyson\u2019s bagless vacuum cleaner and Amazon\u2019s Kindle.<\/li>\n
- Trade Secrets: <\/strong>protects information of value that is a business secret and must remain confidential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Your company name, brand and logo, together with the products, designs and inventions your business has created, carry a high proportion of your business\u2019 value.<\/p>\n
The only way to realise this value is to take action to protect these intangible assets immediately.<\/p>\n
Commissioning Intellectual Property<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you do not take the right actions in relation to your ideas you could find that they become a third party\u2019s intellectual property. It\u2019s important to get professional IP help when commissioning works, otherwise:<\/p>\n
\n- you may pay for the work but not actually own the rights you need in it.<\/li>\n
- your logo would belong to the designer who created it.<\/li>\n
- your website would not be yours to do with as you like.<\/li>\n
- your idea for business software could become the IP of those who develop it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
