Intellectual Property
Protecting your ideas is paramount when developing an invention or design. By knowing and understanding your IP rights you can ensure that you are safeguarding your creativity effectively.
IP consists of four main areas: copyright, trademarks, patents and registered designs. Businesses of any size can be at risk of IP infringement, therefore ensuring you have the right form of protection is worth the time and effort, and it’s easier than you think!
