Having a robust intellectual property (IP) strategy is an important consideration for any business or organisation that is involved in innovation and wants to protect their valuable assets. There are numerous reasons as to why an organisation would want to acquire IP protection for their product(s) including i) exclude competing products, ii) provide credibility, iii) facilitate access to financing/funding, iv) generate revenue streams, and v) attract investors and/or commercial partners.
IP rights include patents, trademarks, design rights and copyright but how do you know which IP right is suitable for your innovation? Take a look at our fact sheets below which provide more detailed information about the different types of IP rights, the scope of protection afforded by these IP rights as well as the process involved for acquiring these IP rights.
