Building A Global IP Strategy And Portfolio: Getting Started

Intellectual property (IP) may be intangible, but it can be your organisation's most valuable asset. #

However, IP rights are territorial. A patent or trade mark registration in one country does not automatically ensure protection in another. A well-managed, coordinated global portfolio enhances the commercial value of your business, minimises legal risk and strengthens your position with potential investors. For startups or SMEs preparing for international expansion, it can be difficult to know where to start when protecting patents, trade marks, designs and other intellectual property rights.

These are the foundational aspects of getting a global IP portfolio off the ground.
