Intellectual Property for Small Business |

Intellectual property (IP) refers to the creative products of the mind such as inventions, music and literary works which are protected by a set of laws and legal rights including copyright, trademark, patent, industrial design.

Intellectual property can:

Establish rights and ownership of intellectual creation, enabling IP owners to profit from their creative efforts.
Prevent competitors from copying a business' product or service.
Secure a business' unique identity and image.

For many start-ups, the only advantage they have is a better way of doing something. As a small business owner, you should consider your IP asset planning as an essential part of your business strategy.
