July 1 marks the midpoint of the year. This is a perfect time to assess your intellectual property (IP) situation. If you’ve been neglecting your IP, you are not alone. Many tech company leaders I’ve talked with have done nothing in the first six months of 2019 to identify and protect their IP assets.
Let’s fix that problem!
You already know that properly protected IP can provide a competitive advantage and protect your valuable innovations from being stolen. Don’t let another 6 months go by without giving serious attention to your high-value IP assets.
I’ve been helping tech companies with Intellectual Property Assessments for more than 20 years. Based on my experience preparing these assessments, here are four things you can do to build your IP portfolio in the next six months:
Don’t spend another six months ignoring your valuable IP.
Failing to protect your IP in a timely manner may cause inventions to become freely available to your competitors.
Get started with at least one of the above activities this week so you have a stronger IP portfolio by the end of the year.
The four activities listed above are part of my 12-point Intellectual Property Assessment. This assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of a company’s current IP situation and identifies problems to fix. Based on the analysis, I map out an IP plan for the next 6-12 months that will expand the company’s IP assets.
