Intellectual Property Protection
Your ideas -- the ones that are the foundation of your company -- need protection. You don't want someone else to profit from what you thought of, developed and now sell. That's why an IP protection strategy is critical to your business success. Licensing agreements, employee contracts and other legal protections are relatively simple to put in place to protect your business.
Ropewalk will work with you to develop IP protection strategies for your inventiveness and imagination. Whether it is a patent, a copyright or trademark, we can assist you in implementing procedures and contracts that protect your original work.
Ropewalk is NOT a law firm, but we can help you craft the documents you will take to a lawyer, saving money and time.
Case Study: IP Protection
A client was ready to take its product to a big trade show, where its official launch was to take place. During the discussion of plans for the show, we asked the client about the patent status of the product. When the client revealed that patents had not yet been filed, we advised the client on what constitutes a disclosure of proprietary information.
Ropewalk took on the task of writing the informational and marketing brochures and data sheets for the client to take to the show, avoiding any disclosure of patentable information. The client, using the very careful wording of the marketing communications pieces we developed, created quite a buzz at the show and brought home hundreds of leads to potential customers.
