IP infringement
Keeping competitors away from your IP is not only your right but also your responsibility.
You should also respect the IP of others and only use it under certain conditions.
Enforce your right
Your ability to enforce your IP right is vital in retaining its value. Create an infringement strategy to help you decide how to deal with infringing conduct.
Before taking legal action
In order to take action against infringement you must be able to prove you own the IP right and that the infringing conduct is illegal.
Resolution methods
As the owner of an IP right you have a range of legal options to deal with infringement, which do not involve going to court.
Going to court
If you are unable to resolve disputes through alternative methods, you may need to initiate formal court proceedings.
Protecting your IP online
Trading online gives you access to a global market but it also comes with risks.
IP insurance
Insurance policies are available to cover your legal costs if you have to enforce your IP right, or are accused of infringing on someone else.
