Every business will own Intellectual Property - the name you trade under, the look or the function of products you make or use, even the brochures you create to promote your business.

All these elements can be protected if they are important to your business and if you manage them correctly they can provide competitive advantage.

The Intellectual Property Office can help you understand how patents, trade marks, designs and copyright can prove an asset to your business.
