What do they copy, steal or misuse?​

Anything that makes it possible for you to create and sell the product that your customers love, your competitors wish they had invented or created before you and are “easy” or profitable to copy.

In other words: If it’s a great business for you, it may very well be an awesome business case for a copycat!

Whether you make a device, the next medicine or tractor wheel. Your physical products often have a new or unique function, process or  use.

Although you may think that designs are mostly about the looks of something, the touch and feel  also be worth protecting against copies.

Recognition, trust and goodwill of your brand is often a huge part of what sells your products. Do you know which business , product names, or logos you can forbid others to use in their business?

Everything that drives your competitive edge is of value to your business. Safeguards you ideas, strategies and other know-how against abuse and theft from those you trust.

While copied concepts can frustrate many, there is more to effective protection of business models, than pointing fingers at your competitors. On the other hand your content, photos, texts and manuscripts may be easier to keep safe.

Trust in collaborations is essential, but it is not always enough.  Understanding how to stay in control and build trusting relationships is essential.

They already work for other successful companies, and I share how they do it – so you can use them too.

Stop copy, theft & abuse with the right tools & strategies

Patents

Definitely helpful in protecting how something works, e.g., function via parts.

Design protection

Available in some countries for protection of the look and feel, e.g., furniture dimensions.

Trademarks

Are commonly used to achieve exclusive rights to: Use of e.g., word or figure, e.g., logo or company name.

Copyrights

Often relied on for its specific protection of: Original elements, e.g., content, such as text or image.

Other laws

Are not as well-known but absolutely worth for protecting, e.g., customer safety and fair competition.

Trade secrets

It should be noted that they are powerful if you can keep things 100% secret. Then they can protect your competitive edge.
