If you want to build a real, defensible business it’s essential you consider intellectual property (IP).
IP such as trademarks, patents, and copyright help you protect your brand from ill-meaning competitors whilst at the same time increasing the value of your business.
In this week’s episode of the Brand Builder Show, we’re joined by trademark expert Andrei Mincov to break down the steps you need to take to ensure you’re fully protected on all fronts.
We talked about the different types of intellectual property, when you should pursue each one, and some common mistakes to avoid.
