FAQs: Intellectual Property and Copyright
How long does intellectual property protection last?
Duration varies depending on the type of protection. Patents generally last up to 20 years, registered trademarks can be renewed indefinitely every 10 years, and copyrights typically last for the author’s lifetime plus 70 years.
Can I protect my business ideas before they are formally registered?
Yes, confidentiality agreements (NDAs) can offer protection while your ideas are being developed or before formal IP registrations occur. This helps prevent unauthorised disclosure or use by third parties.
Does intellectual property registered in the UK protect me internationally?
No, your UK-registered intellectual property rights only protect you within the UK. If you require international protection, you will need to apply separately in other jurisdictions or consider regional protection options such as EU trademarks.
What should I do if someone infringes my intellectual property rights?
You should seek legal advice promptly to assess the infringement and consider your enforcement options. Actions can range from cease and desist letters, mediation and negotiation, to formal court proceedings depending on the nature and severity of infringement.
How can I effectively manage my intellectual property portfolio?
Effectively managing your IP involves regularly auditing your assets, maintaining registrations, monitoring for potential breaches, and strategically developing your IP portfolio in alignment with your business objectives. Our specialist team can guide you through each step of this important process.
