How do I protect my business from intellectual property theft?

Answer

Protecting your business from IP theft involves proactive and legal measures. Ensure your IP assets (trademarks, patents, designs, copyrights) are registered with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in the UK. Implement internal controls: restrict access to sensitive data, use NDAs with employees and partners, and maintain secure digital storage. Regularly audit IP assets and monitor the market for potential infringements. Educate your team about the importance of IP protection. Should you suspect IP theft, promptly consult with our specialized IP lawyers to take appropriate legal action.
