Intellectual property protection

Your business is unique. It is based on your ideas, your innovations, your designs and your brand. To keep it that way and stop others trying to unfairly imitate what you do, it is important to think about the steps you can take to protect your interests and any original creations or novel ways of doing things that you have devised.

This is something the commercial solutions team at IMD Corporate can help with by assisting you to identify and protect your intellectual property, both here in the UK and further afield.

Intellectual property disputes

Intellectual property (IP) is a valuable business asset which you will have worked hard to acquire. It comprises your brand, you know-how, any original or novel creations you have devised and any new or revolutionary way of doing things you have invented.

The benefits of IP audits and strategy

Our IP solicitors believe that most companies, whatever their size, across the range of sectors and industries, need to conduct intellectual property audits and formulate an IP strategy. That is because IP can be a highly valuable company asset upon which the future success and profitability of the company rests.

If your company is an IP user, audits should be carried out to ensure the business complies with licensing agreements, copyright and patents and is not placing itself at risk of expensive and protracted IP dispute litigation.

Employment

If your business is based in the UK or EU and employs one or more people then you will need to comply with employment laws designed to ensure staff are treated fairly and that pay and conditions meet minimum statutory requirements. You will also be obliged to provide a safe working environment and to ensure that those you engage have the legal right to work in the country in which they are or will be stationed.

Failure to comply with any relevant rules or regulations could result in you being pursued for employee compensation and may also lead to you being fined and imprisonment for senior personnel. For this reason, it is important that you stay up to date with legal requirements and implement policies and procedures geared towards ensuring your duties are discharged.
