Think before you share my content and material

Respect my rights
- share with care

I am here to help you to but...

I also need to make a living

Therefore, please think twice when you are tempted to share my content or material (free or paid) with others. You could harm my business by doing so.

Please don’t share my content without prior written permission. It’s my work and revenue stream, and purchase through this page provides you with one user license to the course, event, or content/material. It is not a company license unless we agree to that before your purchase and in writing.

If you need to share with an employee, colleague, or lawyer, ask first—and we’ll find a solution. Thanks!

Send a sharing request

Avoid unpleasant misunderstandings.

Please fill out the form provided below, and I will respond promptly with an answer.

  • It’s important to note that filling out the form does not authorize sharing information with others.
  • You must wait for my instructions on what you can share and only share that with the specific individuals mentioned.
  • Unauthorized information sharing is not permitted; you risk violating my rights if you do.

When to share with care?

Every time you want to share content - ask me first

The following examples illustrate what you should not share without my permission. Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list and other content or situations may fall into this category.

Remember: Unauthorized sharing of licenses or materials with non-paying users, colleagues, or others can lead to severe damage and loss of sales and value in my business, which is unacceptable.

Downloadable material

PDFs and other downloadable material, like checklists, e-books, guides, and templates are forbidden to share.

Sometimes specific downloadable material is expressly marked as "shareable", if you comply with the detailed instructions.

Videos and recordings

If you got access to a recording through a signup to my mailing list, it's not okay to screen record it to share with any 3rds party (not your colleague, friend or lawyer).

If they want acces, they have to sign up too.

Paid or "free" - leave it up to me

Anything that you want to share, remember or like others to see, has a value in my business.

It may not look like "much" - but it is, I promise!

Your access is personal

When you buy a course, event, e-book etc. from me, you get one license for one person. It is specific to the content you can access and specifies how to use it. Don't share or transfer it to others.

Not even your lawyer. He's my competition!

I reserve all option to enforce my rights against infringements and violations

I therefore trust that you understand that if you decide to share materialwithout my express consent or e.g. purchase the number of relevant licenses needed (perhaps even at a discount), I reserve the right to take legal action against such infringing action.

Without my explicite written consent or permission

You are risking legal conflicts

As an entrepreneur, my main goal is to dedicate my time to creating valuable products for my customers rather than dealing with legal matters.

However, I will take steps to protect my rights if necessary.

That’s why it’s important to share the message below with you. Also, if you happen to come across someone sharing my material, please kindly inform them that it’s not permitted and let me know as well. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Don't even share it with your lawyer!​

It’s essential to ask for my permission before sharing my material to control my methods and materials and prevent my competitors from seeing them.

I usually include instructions in my offers that explain what can be shared and how to do it. This makes it easy for you to share your input or results based on my material.

Remember, your advisors, IP lawyers, colleagues, and friends could be my competitors. If they gain access to my complete material or crucial parts, they might use it in their business, limiting my market. Yes, lawyers also cheat. They are humans, just like you and me.

So, it’s crucial that they don’t have access to my content. I share my material responsibly so I can keep helping entrepreneurs.

Why do I care - if you share with care?

I can only help you , if I stay in business!

Gyde explains, so it's easy to understand.

Gyde from Patentsmarter gave me precisely what I needed. With her professional insight, she was able to inform me about what was legally possible and correct, and at the same time, she could advise me about what was appropriate to do.

Gyde is good at explaining so that you actually understand the technical and legal aspects you are not used to dealing with yourself.

Useful advice on trademarks

I received very useful advice from this company. my company in matters of rights and trademark. The help was easy to understand and was given in a friendly and educational manner. It has ended up saving me quite a bit of money.

I can give my best recommendation to other companies or people who need help finding their way in the jungle of rules regarding rights to their own products and company name.

Incredibly competent and really good cooperation

Gyde has a very professional and sympathetic approach to advice in the patent world.

I have experienced Gyde as a mega knowledgeable and skilled person, and she has helped us both strategically and hands-on, to secure our IPR, FtO, and trademark protection, something that is incredibly important when you are sitting with innovative concepts, prototypes, and inventions.

Can highly recommend Gyde and Patentsmarter.

Clinical Development at H. Lundbeck A/S

In my area of responsibility at Lundbeck, clinical development in psychiatry, I always felt that my knowledge about the very important area of IP/patents is too fragmented. So I was extra happy that I got the opportunity to do a test drive with Gyde’s beta version of her newly developed webinar series of 3x2hs on this topic.

Gyde is a very competent senior patent attorney and developed an excellent, highly engaging and didactically very thought through curriculum which further shaped my perspective and strategic approach to IP/patent matters. Also newer challenges like use of digital health technologies in drug development were addressed.

If you are interested to learn more about IP/patents in a very insightful and entertaining way I can only recommend to attend this course.

Presents a complex topic in a fun and engaging way.

We had the pleasure to learn about IP and patents from Gyde in a two-day workshop. Gyde facilitated a very nice workshop with a thought through curriculum and managed to communicate a rather complex topic in a highly engaging and fun way.

An absolutely HUGE recommendation
Gyde from PATENTsmarter in always made it understandable and motivating to look into this important subject of protecting my company assets. I came to her without any clearance of what exactly I was looking for, and on top of knowledge I got ideas and inputs boosting my creative work with name and concept in my business.

At no point she was focused on sales and business and I have felt helped and guided due to sincere interest in helping me protect my business against copyists. I happily enlisted for a Masterclass PATENTsmarter did on how to stay safe from someone copying you and again insights were useful, straight on and easy to understand.

An absolutely HUGE recommendation to ALL small, medium and large business to contact PATENTsmarter if you need help/advice/input on how to avoid being copied.

I am completely satisfied!

Gyde was recommended to me to help me review contracts and agreements, and I was already given concrete paths to take within our 15-minute clarification conversation.

I had two cases I needed help with, and I solved one in the 15-minute clearing interview – and thus chose to continue the collaboration, to my great satisfaction.

Gyde from PATENTsmarter™ is my go-to person when I need to review new agreements and contracts.

Gyde is a keen observer who skillfully examines agreements to provide an initial assessment and overview. She then advises me impartially, allowing me to make the subsequent important decisions myself. Gyde excels at simplifying complex material and is an excellent help to me.”

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.
