Managing IP – The easy way to protect your intellectual property rights
If you’re working with new intellectual property (IP), you really do need to be fully aware of all the issues and possible problems. IP law is complex, and getting more complex. You can’t really afford to guess about your IP position.
The usual problem for IP owners is, to put it politely, "messy" IP management, the failure to deal with IP basics. The fact is that competently managed IP assets usually don’t have anything like the "Hollywood" version of IP law problems. If you have the best patent attorney in Silicon Valley, the likely result is that you’ll never have any issues with your IP.
Some points about this situation:
- The core issue is that IP management must be done properly right from the start. Good specialist legal support makes sure that your IP is fully documented, properly registered, patented, or whatever else is required.
- The objective of IP management is to firmly establish your indisputable ownership of your intellectual property. That’s the real bottom line, and it’s not avoidable.
