Why is it important to protect Intellectual property?

It is very important for companies to protect their most valued asset, their Intellectual Property. Many

businesses are not generally aware of the IP and how it could benefit the business to build a reputation,

brand value, and ultimately their economic growth. In this competitive world, people will often take

advantage of your inventions and technology as their own and immensely benefit from it.

One doesn't need to go in detail about the IP law but should know these simple things to prevent its

theft.

Always Know What Intellectual Property You Own

Keep in mind the innovations and ideas that you have invested in and know the products that can be

developed based on it.

Prioritize

You can have multiple innovations used in building various products. Each idea is worth something and

thus you identify and prioritize according to how important it could be for the business.

Keep Your IP Secure Physically And Digitally

As discussed earlier it is a must to keep your IP safe. Some tips could be to establish strict access to the

rooms and passwords to protect any important document you could have on the system.

Consult A Professional Law Firm

Initially many people think this step as an overhead which is mainly money-related. As it is always said

‘prevention is better than cure', employ an intellectual property law firm, and understand all the

necessary laws pertaining to IP. Legally secure your asset in case someone tries to steal it which can

harm any business hugely.
