Why is intellectual property protection important to a company?

Intellectual property protection is critical to fostering innovation. While it is difficult to determine the exact scope and extent of the problem, every indication is that copyright piracy, trademark counterfeiting, and patent infringement have become significant problems in the business community in general, including small businesses.

Protect Intellectual Properties Rights in Vietnam

Any individual or a company investing in R&D, reaping new results would want to protect their product and reimburse when granted a patent on it. A similar kind of protection is available when it comes to Trademarks and Copyrights. Any company would want to protect their Trademark from being used by a competitor. Copyright protection is best suited to protect an individual’s work, say a software program or a newly created font by a company. I’m sure no company would want to give away their credits and brilliance to their competitors.

Also, it would be good for a company to protect their IP as there are “eyes and ears” that would want to know the know-how of a product which a company produces. It could be categorized as Trade Secret but if their is already a surface protection for a company’s IP, even if a competitor tries to get hold of any information, the ball is pretty much in a company’s court. Hence, protection of Intellectual Property is extremely important to a company, especially for the start-ups.
