Protecting Your Creative Edge in Today’s World
We live, work and play in a world that’s home to billions of people. Upwards of seven billion, as a matter of fact. And many of these great minds have life-changing thoughts and ideas. Some of these innovations become impossible to live become socially disruptive on a global scale and others, like pet exercise toys, may only quietly affect certain market segments. But whether an idea whispers or explodes its way on to the scene, many have potential to become protectable intellectual property.
With so many hopeful inventors looking to make their mark, it’s highly possible at least one will create or even try to steal your intellectual property. Throw in the power of the Internet, ever-changing technology and the speed of social media, and the likelihood of someone pirating your brainchild just skyrocketed.
