Protect your business assets

There are seven key business assets that you want to protect.

Website Address – In the age of technology it’s important that you have a web address and make sure the domain that you wish to use is available.

Trademarks – Your brand name must be protected! So, it’s important that you protect it with a trademark!

Copyright your written material.  Whenever you put your original content out ther

e, make sure you place a copyright on it.

Patents- Protect your good idea with a patent!

Provisional Applications for Patents- Less expensive than a full patent application and gets you that date of invention established.

Inventor's Logs- Have a great idea, start by keeping an inventors log. Use a spiral bound notebook and keep all ideas there (such as date you invented the product, etc.)

Confidentiality Agreements - Protect your idea by using a non-disclosure agreement. Have your employees sign a non-disclosure agreement during the application process.

Assets have inherit value so make sure you protect you them!
