Intellectual Property Insurance Scheme
(IP, Copyright, Idea Protection, Inventions, Designs, Discoveries, Patents and more)
In business your ideas could be your most valuable assets. Like any other assets, they
need to be looked after and exploited to their full potential if you are to reap the
rewards you deserve from your creativity and enterprise. As with any other valuable
property, your intellectual property – original ideas, scientific discoveries, inventions,
designs, written material, music, data, EnquiryFormtware or your unique performance as a performing
art are valuable and are vulnerable to be taken by others or inadvertently trespassed upon.
It is assumed that by registering an Intellectual Property right there is protection against
copying or exploiting by others. This is not so. It is advisable therefore to effect insurance
for intellectual property. It will also encourage others to invest in the project and will
attract funding from individuals, financial institutions and venture capitalists.
Camberford Law plc now offers individuals, small, medium and multi-national companies
a new advanced insurance and advisory service for the protection of intellectual property rights.
