How does IP BRICKs build solid business foundations?
Think of IP as anything your company knows that gives it a competitive advantage i.e. anything that you would want to keep secret from your competition and/or prevent them from copying.

What should you consider?
We are talking about things such as innovation, brand, knowledge, customer lists, know how, proprietary data, supplier agreements, inventions, reputation, digital brand equity, software code, algorithms etc.

Why does it matter?
Well quite simply if you don't know what you've got and you're not managing it, there is every chance that is it is leaking or being misappropriated, either inadvertently or deliberately.

What do I need to do?
Starting is easy. Simply book a no obligation review
