At Coulter Legal, we understand that when operating and growing a business, your focus is often on competing priorities and day-to-day demands of running your operations. In doing so, it can be difficult to step back and consider whether your Intellectual Property (IP) has been properly identified and protected, and whether you have the appropriate agreements in place to support your business now and into the future.
Our online IP Audit tool is designed to:
The Audit includes a complimentary 15-minute follow-up consultation with one of our IP specialists to discuss the results to identify any gaps in your current position and provide recommendations or steps that you can take to better protect your IP to support the ongoing growth and value of your business.
It is important that your employment and contractor agreements explicitly outline ownership and use of any intellectual property.
It is important for your business name is registered with ASIC so that another business cannot register the same name. Note that this does not stop other parties from using the same business name or registering the name as a trade mark (see: That’s my Name! – Coulter Legal to learn about the differences between business names and trade marks).
It is important that you discuss this with us to ensure your intellectual property is properly protected.
