Protecting Intellectual Property

What steps can a start-up take to protect intellectual property? The most important would be to understand the difference between what is going to be protected by a patent, what’s protected by a trademark, and what’s protected by copyright.

By understanding these things, that a patent is going to protect inventions and new ideas, that confidentiality is very important in getting a patent application on file. I recommend filing multiple provisional patent applications for a start-up. It’s research, understanding what other people are doing with the term and copyright, making sure you put the copyright symbol on the things that you produce.

Those are the main things. There is many more. Go ahead and contact me if you have more questions about how to protect your intellectual property. I’m Wayne Carroll with Inspired Ideas Solutions Law Firm.
