Protect Your ıdeas
You may not have thought that you have intellectual property (IP) that you need to protect
We can help you to gain an understanding of the vital role of trademarks, copyright, registered designs, and patents in protecting your business.
Intellectual Property (IP) consists of
three types which you register and two which you don’t
We provide guidance on Patents, Trade Marks and Registered Designs, which are IP that you need to register. You don’t need to register copyright or know-how.
Patents protect a new way of doing something. It’s often associated with inventions but it can cover small improvements to existing products and processes.
Trade marks protect elements of a brand, e.g., your business name, your logo, your tagline…
Registered designs protect the appearance of a product: that could be its shape, a texture or a pattern.
Copyright applies to original creative works. That includes texts, images, videos, audio and even computer code.
