Start learning about INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (aka your copy-defense)
The copy-defense blog post categories should make it easier to find what you want to get an intro to or learn more about to apply in your business strategy.
Learning something new can be a pain, and it may be even more complicated if you don’t know where to start.
But please, don’t let sneaky competitors steal your intellectual property (IP) and profit! It’s not fair to your business and the work you put into it to succeed.
To help you avoid this, I offer many free learning opportunities, one of which is this copy-defense blog 💡.
Start learning with the copy-defensE BLOG
Lately, the entrepreneurs I’ve been in contact with have either faced the threat of being copied or are worried about potentially losing their creations to copycats. Establishing a preemptive defense against copying at this stage will never be as powerful as intentionally building and aligning with your business development strategy.
Beginning late is still better than not starting at all.
For their future products and content, they will often find the valuable resources I offer, such as the free articles of my copy-defense blog and the idearlify® products from the shop, essential for expediting their start, rather than having to create their methods and workflows from scratch.
When is the right time to learn about IPRs?
You need to learn about IPRs (intellectual property rights) long time before you need them.
Please don't wait until you have something to lose. It's cheaper and easier to build your copy-defense while you create your assets, than to try to fix the missing protection when you have been copied.
Your success attracts copycats - be ready!
Although you can expect copies to happen more frequently with the increase of success and revenue - you should not just watch, while they hurt your business.
The copy-defense blog helps you to get used to the idea of proactively preparing for copies to happen.
Copies are NOT a complement
Let's face it: Copies stir mixed emotions – annoyance, frustration, or even a tinge of flattery.
But they are not a backhanded compliment; they are someone's attempt to take a shortcut or piggyback off your hard work.
If you believe in your business - stand up for it!
I know this may sound provocative, but it's true. If your products or services mean something to your and your customers (now or in the future), then you deserve to reap the rewards - and not to accept potential damages to your profit or reputation by copying competitors!

The fear of copies is valid
The fear of the damaging effects of a copy (or IP- infringement) is valid, and starting a preventive copy-defense makes sense – especially if you are a small business with limited means to handle such conflict.
A report from the EUIPO and OECD highlights the severe impact of intellectual property (IP) infringement on small businesses. In 2015, SMEs reported that they had suffered from IP infringement, and by 2021, 34% of these SMEs were less likely to still be in business. Despite this, over 10% of EU SMEs do not take action to enforce their rights because they feel it’s too complex and expensive.
So, economically independent SMEs with small product portfolios face a higher risk of harsh consequences after being victimized by IP infringement.
That’s why it would make sense for them (and maybe you) to focus on preventing and efficiently handling such cases to avoid market exit.
