INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
B
eing creative, being innovative is the key to success.
Modern society is getting more and more dependent on people having good ideas.
To be able to push forward your concepts and gaining profit from it,
it is essential to take effective precautionary measures:
Intellectual Property Law makes it all possible.
Copyright
As soon as you create art, write a song, design a homepage or develop software, these works are copyrighted. This sounds great, but be sure you can prove to be the owner of that copyright! Moreover, be careful in showing somebody your work. Get a at least a written statement which proves he or she has actually seen it. Needless to say that all your agreements should be written down very carefully too.
Trademarks
What's in a name? What is in a logo? Reputation, and in most cases it is worth money, a lot of money. Quite remarkable that a lot of firms do not take effective measures protecting their trademarks and servicemarks. Please, check your status in this respect.
Patents
A technical idea can be patented. It must meet the
relevant requirements such as novelty and non-obviousness. Don't be too
hasty in your pursuit of gains. Get a patent beforehand. Only a patent
grants you the exclusive rights. By the way, inventing inventions which are
already invented is a frustrating business. That is why we recommend you to
do research in advance. We will help you!
Europe
Although we are doing business all over the world, our main field of interest is Intellectual Property in Europe. To work in the rapidly expanding European Market is really marvellous. You should not miss the chance to be a part of it. We take all the necessary precautions for you, negotiate with potential buyers or producers and make up your contracts. We also check out your chances, when it turns out that someone is violating your rights.
