The Intellectual Property Office has an online Intellectual Property Healthcheck tool, which gives free guidance to businesses on how to protect their intellectual assets.
The guidance is broken down into four Intellectual Property elements. These are:
- Covering Patents;
- Trade Marks;
- Designs; and
- Copyright.
In addition, two new diagnostic tools have been added, on Licensing Intellectual Property and Confidential Information.
The Healthcheck tool is free to use once you have registered. See the IPO website.
