Digital health is experiencing a boom in investment as the
regulatory environment becomes more supportive of digital health
services. But as companies seek to make the most of their funding
and protect the innovations that drive their product, it is
imperative that they protect their intellectual property from being
copied or duplicated by others in the market.
What exactly is IP?
Intellectual Property (IP) is generally non-tangible property.
You can hold your laptop in your hands or you can stand on a piece
of land — those are both tangible examples of property.
Intellectual property cannot be physically held or touched.
Protections available for intellectual property generally break
down into one of four areas: patents; trade secrets, trademark, and
copyright.
