National IP Day

WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DAY – 26 APRIL 2009

Innovation, creation and competition are what we do best in Cornwall.  With one of the largest creative sectors outside London, and a reputation for trying new things, intellectual property is thriving in Cornwall, as it is throughout the UK, even in the current economic climate.

In today's highly competitive market place, businesses must maintain their unique selling point in order to stay ahead of their game. This is increasingly coming from Intellectual Property Rights or IPR. IPR arises in a variety of forms which may be in your trading name, your logo or graphic image, a slogan, or the design of your product, business plan and inventions.   Indeed your intellectual property may be your business’ greatest asset, and failing to put adequate protection in place can cost you dearly if a competitor tries to copy your brand or your product or even steals your invention.

It is much easier to register your trademark, or design or patent, than to litigate when someone tries to rip you off.  And it doesn’t cost nearly as much.  To mark World Intellectual Property Day on 26 April Follett Stock is offering cut price registration services to help you get your house in order.  So call on or before 30 April 2009 to qualify for the discount which could save your business thousands.
