IP for SMEs and Start-ups
Imagine a world where you are the first and only organisation to launch a creative brand or develop a game-changing innovation. By integrating an IP strategy into your research and development (R&D) process, you can not only capture such innovations and creativity, but also ensure they are properly protected and enforced, thereby enabling you to grow the identity and value of your company.
Every organisation – no matter its size, age or industry – has the ability and opportunity to protect its IP rights. In fact, the sooner you do so, the better! Your IP strategy should ideally be considered in advance of any market launch, rather than in the face of an unexpected issue, such a trademark or patent conflict with a rival company.
From shortlisting brand names to protecting innovative design features, Novagraaf can support you to screen, register, and enforce trademarks and designs, as well as help you to negotiate licensing contracts, monitor your brand rights and even sell your valuable intellectual property.
Most organisations understand the need for an online presence, but not every business realises the importance of aligning your trademark and domain name portfolios. Discover how to protect your company online and how Novagraaf’s specialists can provide support.
Our patent attorneys will work with you to define the protection strategy best suited to your needs, as well as to build and manage your patent portfolio, from drafting and filing patent applications to responding to office actions and renewing patent rights worldwide. Our team can also help you to exercise your IP rights through non-disclosure agreements, licensing and assignment contracts, freedom to operate studies, and beyond.
To promote innovation, support and attract talent and cement business relationships, it’s critical to consult with an IP attorney and develop a tailor-made strategy for your organisation. Contact us today to get started.
