Intellectual Property Resources
Intellectual property (IP) helps protect your innovation from competitors using something identical or similar to your solution, brand or product. Intellectual property rights and registrations also allow you to block competitive products and clear a technological path for future market share.
There are many important reasons to protect your company by registering your intellectual property. Intellectual property allows you to build value in your business as it is counted as an asset when determining the value of a company. It can also create new sources of revenue like the potential to license your goods or services out to third parties.
Though it may seem like a big investment, without necessary protection, you could end up spending a lot more money defending against someone else or even being forced to rebrand.
