Our firm also provides IP Audits (or “legal health checks”) to ensure that your intellectual property is being properly protected.
This involves:
- Identifying what intellectual property you own
- Putting measures in place to ensure that it is properly protected (this could involve filing trade mark registrations, ensuring that you are using your trade marks in the right way; using correct IP symbols such as ©, ® and the ™)
- Drafting copyright deeds of assignment to transfer ownership of intellectual property created by independent contractors for your business
- Putting systems in place to ensure that IP is maintained
