Intellectual Property
Section 2
Check collaboration agreements, confidentiality agreements, materials
transfer agreements or similar to ensure the company does not release
important IP. The IP Manager can arrange regular IP training sessions to
ensure all employees/workers are aware of the procedures in place. Training
could also be provided to employees of the company in relation to the
release of information over the internet and the use of copyright materials
on the internet.
What happens if the company infringes IP belonging to a third party? This
can be very expensive. It is also up to you to stop others infringing your IP.
This can be equally expensive. Consider obtaining IP insurance coverage
to protect against these situations. There are a number of options available
and advice can be sought from a specialist insurance broker.
