Each and every day people and businesses are coming up with new ideas and, most of the time, when developed, these ideas will have a value and become an asset. These ideas might relate to a brand, an invention, a design, software development, a song or another intellectual creation.
The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office which oversees registration of Intellectual Property rights in the UK sum up Intellectual Property nicely as the “ingredient that turns knowledge into assets”.
At Bright we understand that these assets are often overlooked and it has been estimated that they can account for as much as 80 per cent of the value of a business. We also see Intellectual Property as an asset which can drive revenue, it lets people own the work they create, it can be owned, bought and sold.
Unfortunately there will always be those who will try to use the results of someone else’s hard work and ideas to line their own pockets. Bright can help to stop them and also recover money that should have been yours.
There are many simple and cost effective ways to protect your ideas and your business.
