The issues surrounding protection of intellectual property are complex and daunting, not to mention expensive. Not only is exhaustive competitive research important to be completed simply to protect the IP as your own, but also patent and ownership value can be negated if your protection strategy isn‘t ironclad.
IP protection must make it impossible for established industry players to circumvent your IP due to oversights that could have been prevented, if only you had been aware of them. Your records, work relationships, your disclosures, your handling of applications related to your IP all of these issues play a “make-or-break” role in the long-term financial success that you and your IP may or may not enjoy in the marketplace.
