Determining the best way to protect your investment in any type of innovation is an important issue for many entrepreneurs. Unique techniques, products, trademarks, brands and packaging are all types of intellectual property. The government offers a level of protection to inventors through patent and copyright legislation. Trademarks, brands and packaging also are offered some type of legal exclusivity. Trade secrets are innovations that a firm or individual possesses that for one reason or another the firm or individual either cannot or chooses not to patent. Trade secrets are also protected by legislation.

At the request of the Chancellor in December 2005, Andrew Gowers conducted a comprehensive review of the intellectual property framework in the UK. The Gower’s report (published in December 2006) makes fifty-four recommendations across the spectrum of IP. It tasks the Patent Office with far-reaching activities to ensure that the value of IP is maximised to enable the UK to compete in the global economy. It models a new UK Intellectual Property Office from the present Patent Office. This is not out of the blue: it represents a crystallisation of strategic thinking on IP by the government. In 2005 the Minister of Science and Technology, Lord Sainsbury said we would become a “different kind of Patent Office –a Patent Office for the 21st Century”.

Guide for Unilateral NDA

LegalZoom — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:59:48 GMT

shared by: LegalZoom on: Friday, August 07, 2009

Non-disclosure agreements (also called NDAs or confidentiality agreements) have become increasingly important for businesses of all sizes, serving as the first line of defense in protecting company inventions, trade secrets, and hard work. At their core, non-disclosure agreements build relationships of trust between two or more parties. Once signed, a non-disclosure agreement allows for open dialogue between parties, creating an environment in which information can be discussed freely and the true objectives of the meeting or relationship can be met (e.g., a company can be funded, a strategic partnership can be established, etc.).There are two key types of non-disclosure agreements: unilateral and mutual. Unilateral non-disclosure agreements (like the agreement contained in this packet) should be used when only one party will be sharing confidential information, as when you are seeking funding for or investment in your company.

Guide for Trademark Cease and Desist

LegalZoom — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:59:47 GMT

shared by: LegalZoom on: Friday, August 07, 2009

Your trademark is your marketplace signature, an indicator that your company produced the items for sale and a promise that those items will meet the quality standards you’ve worked to establish. If another company or individual attaches a similar mark to their goods or services, it’s akin to a forgery, a use of your ‘signature’ to obtain customers or signal your approval of those products. This forgery will not only cause an immediate decrease in your sales by siphoning purchasers to a different company’s merchandise, but will cause a long-run decrease as well, as the power of your brand will be diluted by association with lesser quality goods.By law, you must challenge any infringement on your trademark to hold onto the protections you’ve earned: in other words, to keep your trademark you have to defend it. The letter included in this packet is constructed to help you get what is rightfully yours. Of course, you know your industry and competitors better than anyone else: this may be an intentional appropriation or an honest mistake. In any event, you may want to alter the sample letter to best suit your business needs.

Whether or not a company needs a release is a complicated question. It depends on a number of factors, including how the end product will be used. However, it’s a good idea to get a release whenever possible, both to protect yourself from later lawsuits and to increase the salability of your final product.This package contains everything you’ll need to draft your release. A written contract minimizes confusion, misunderstanding, and error, and sets forth expectations and fulfillment obligations. In every way, this promotes successful and profitable business arrangements.

At their core, non-disclosure agreements build relationships of trust between two or more parties. The agreements contemplate situations in which at least one party is sharing confidential and proprietary information with the other, and protect the immediate and future security of the disclosed information. Once signed, a non-disclosure agreement allows for open dialogue between parties, creating an environment in which information can be discussed freely and the true objectives of the meeting or relationship can be met (e.g., a company can be funded, a strategic partnership can be established, etc.).There are two key types of non-disclosure agreements: unilateral and mutual. Mutual non-disclosure agreements (like the agreement contained in this packet) should be used when each side will be sharing confidential information, as when the parties are considering the creation of a partnership, joint venture, or merger.

A comprehensive employee confidentiality (or non-disclosure) agreement is thus critical to protecting your information and giving notice to your staff that they have a serious and ongoing duty of confidentiality to the company.A simple statement of the importance of protecting such information can be surprisingly effective.

A company has little to lose and much to gain by using confidentiality agreements.
