IP Healthcheck

What’s new?

We’ve added two new diagnostic tools on Licensing Intellectual Property and Confidential Information. We’ve also made the registration procedures simpler, so all you need is an email address to get started.

Why use it?

Every business will own some form of intellectual property. It could be the artistic design, shape, technology or brand of your product or process, but do you know how to protect and exploit these intellectual assets?

The IP Healthcheck online tool is free to use and will help you answer these questions. It’s broken down into the four IP elements covering Patents, Trade Marks, Designs and Copyright, as well as advice on Licensing Intellectual Property and managing Confidential Information.

What you get

Just answer a series of simple questions and a tailored Confidential Report will be created for you, based on what you have told us. The Report will include;

• A list of recommended Action Points, to help you protect and exploit your IP rights;
• An explanation of why we have made each recommendation;
• Guidance on how to put each recommendation into practice;
• Links to useful information, websites and other resources.

How it works
