Developing and maintaining a strategic approach to your business’s IP rights could be the difference between your company thriving, or being overtaken by the competition.
Intellectual Property rights can provide a number of significant benefits to your company, including:
1. Protection against a competitor using your brands or products
2. Potential to convince financial institutions to invest; enabling more money to be raised for development
4. Generate revenue through licensing or selling your IP rights to others
5. Potential bargaining tool if you are accused of infringing another company’s IP rights
6. Enhance the “cutting-edge” reputation of your business
7. Reduced rate of corporation tax on profits generated by products that relate to your patents, using the UK Patent Box scheme
