Do I Adequately Protect My Intellectual Property?

* From  Date: Tuesday, March 13 2007

Even low-tech companies have intellectual property issues that may be important for the future success of the business.

  • Do you require your employees and consultants to sign confidentiality and invention assignment agreements?
  • Have you registered for a trademark for an important company logo or product?
  • Do you put copyright notices on your written information? Are your trade secrets adequately protected?

Remember, protecting your intellectual property is essential for the long-term health of your company.
