EP020 | Protecting Your Intellectual Property, with Stephen Ruse The Brand Compass

    • Entrepreneurship

In this episode: As a subject matter expert there are some things you need to be really conscious about when it comes to the work that you create and generate. (If you are not sure you are a subject matter expert – listen to ep17, this will help work that out).
When I was a franchise consultant - looking at the aspect of intellectual property (IP) became a necessity in building the value into my client’s business. I still have this as a habit in the consulting work I do today, even though its brand strategy I focus on. Protecting your IP is really important to secure your value and also to create brand assets.
In this episode, I talk to Stephen Ruse, who is a UK-based solicitor specialising in Intellectual Property. Come listen as we walk through what you need to be thinking about when you create original work – whether that is a book, a course, or a proprietary model. We also touch on the difference between copyright and trademarking.
Investing in listening to this episode, may spark some action which will pay dividends in years to come. Curious? Come join us.
