Don't let your competition take the revenue that you deserve!

No matter who you are as a business or what you create, understanding intellectual property (IP) rights is crucial before facing infringement (when someone copies you and infringes on your IP rights).

Waiting until after you’ve been faced with such unfair competitive actions puts your investment at risk.

Just as you adhere to tax laws and drive with a valid license, you must be aware of your own intellectual property rights and those of your competitors, including competition and marketing laws that protect consumers.

Don't know where to start - or if your assets, content and products are "worth" to protect?

Then I have good news for you. As a new customer, you can book a 15-minute 1:1 with me, where we check the easiest way to “do more” to protect your business abuse, e.g., by competitors, your network connections, or in collaborations. Just click the button below and book the next free spot in my calendar.

the easy way to your copy-defense

with templates, online courses, events and more

I can show you how other businesses shield their assets by applying informed risk and opportunity management and utilizing copy-defense tools in the most profitable ways to support their business goals. In general, it’s about intellectual property rights—not so much what the law says you can do in your business to make them work for you as a protective shield. 

An integral part of my approach (the idearlify® approach) is helping you apply these tested and proven strategies to your needs. You can then adjust them so they seamlessly integrate into your existing workflows. Suppose you are like most entrepreneurs I know. In that case, the thought of investing time and money into content, assets, and products, risking losing the potential profit to sneaky competitors, can feel maddening.

ANSVARSFRASKRIVELSE: PATENTsmarter™ er ikke juridisk rådgivning

PATENTsmarter™ er ikke et patentadvokatfirma og yder ikke juridisk eller anden rådgivning.

PATENTsmarter™ er et informations- og uddannelseswebsted, der drives af European Patent Attorneys (og Dansk CErtificeret Patent Agenter), herunder specifikt ejeren, grundlæggeren og CEO for PATENTsmarter™, Gyde Balzer Carstensen.

Læs venligst vores Forretningsbetingelser, før du bruger de oplysninger , der tilbydes i shoppen eller på anden måde af PATENTsmarter™.

Alle Produkter og ydelser, blogs, mentoring, skræddersyede løsninger, events, webinarer, workshops og meget mere, herunder materiale eller indhold, der deles af PATENTsmarter™, er udelukkende til uddannelsesmæssige og illustrative formål, der har til formål at give en bedre forståelse af loven og dens potentielle muligheder og risici, og kan ikke opfattes som juridisk rådgivning.  

 

En forenkling kan være nødvendig for at forbedre den begrebsmæssige forståelse

Indholdet garanteres ikke at være korrekt eller opdateret med de seneste nationale eller internationale lovændringer. Nogle gange må begreber blive forenklet for at reducere kompleksiteten og sikre en bedre begrebsforståelse, hvilket betyder, at udvalgte emner eller aspekter kan være udeladt eller ikke fremhævet fra alle vinkler.  

Brug oplysningerne – men husk at få professionel rådgivning

Det er dit (brugerens) ansvar som virksomhedsejer at sikre, at du kender de juridiske konsekvenser af dine handlinger og dermed også at konsultere en patentadvokat eller juridisk rådgiver, før du handler på baggrund af noget, du har lært eller konkluderet på baggrund af produkter, ydelser og indhold leveret af PATENTsmarter™.

Selvom PATENTsmarter™ kan hjælpe med at strømline dit arbejde og fremhæve tilgængelige muligheder og risici, der skal overvejes, kan det ikke erstatte rådgivning fra en patentkonsulent eller juridisk rådgiver.

Din specifikke situation, forretningsmodel, produktdetaljer, konkurrentsituation og adfærd er nogle af de aspekter, der påvirker din juridiske status, og som i nogle tilfælde kan synes at være i modstrid med det, du har lært på f.eks. specifikke PATENTsmarter™-kurser.  

 

Forventninger, resultater og succes

PATENTsmarter™ garanterer eller lover ikke specifikke resultater eller udfald for virksomheder eller enkeltpersoner, der deltager i eller bruger produkter eller ydelser, der leveres via denne webside eller tilknyttede ydelser.  

 

Din virksomhed, dit ansvar – husk at søge forretningskritisk rådgivning, før du handler

Alle kan lære med PATENTsmarter™, men resultaterne vil variere og afhænge af sagsspecifikke detaljer, forståelse af det præsenterede indhold, den personlige indsats, der er forbundet med at oversætte det, og rådgivernes kompetence, som forklaret ovenfor.

Hvis du ønsker min praktiske støtte som din rådgiver, kan dette ikke ske gennem PATENTsmarter™. Du kan kontakte mig via min konsulentaftale med Larsen Birkeholm; men da dette er en helt uafhængig virksomhed, skal du ikke forvente rabatter eller andre fordele som følge af køb af PATENTsmarter™. Jeg tilbyder kun et begrænset antal rådgivningstimer hos Larsen & Birkeholm, så det kan være nødvendigt at kontakte mig i god tid, hvis du ønsker min sagsspecifikke service.
