The Importance of IP and Protecting Your Brand

Intellectual Property FolderIntellectual property (IP) rights can be one of a business’s most valuable assets. Your IP rights are:

  • What sets your organization apart from competitors
  • A potential revenue stream when sold or licensed
  • How customers identify you and your particular brand

Why is discussing IP protection with legal counsel important? While it may seem that because you came up with an idea, you automatically own it and need no further protection. However, should your idea start to standout in a trending market and catches the attention of a competitor, imitation is not always the sincerest form of flattery.
