If your business enterprise is about technology or a new product, then to conquer the competition and succeed in the commercial marketplace you must effectively navigate the intellectual property laws.

Whether you are aware of it or not, the environment that your business operates in is filled with intellectual property (IP) rights. It does not matter what product your business makes or what service it provides. Your business is almost certainly using and creating IP rights regularly. Failure to effectively address the many IP rights issues facing your business can lead to expensive lawsuits and/or substantial lost profits.

Studies have estimated that today 80% or more of the value of a business is often found in its intangible assets such as its patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and goodwill. Competitors will gladly take your sales and force your prices down if given the opportunity, which is exactly what happens when IP rights are not properly secured. Any business concerned with maintaining market share and profit margins to attract investors, financing, or a purchaser needs to be concerned about acquiring and maximizing the value of its intangible assets.

A business should also be concerned about avoiding accusations of infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Thousands of such lawsuits are filed in U.S. courts every year. The range of median costs that a business faces if it must fully litigate a lawsuit for infringement of intellectual property rights is approximately $250,000 - $5,000,000. Most businesses can't really afford such an expense, and many standard business insurance policies provide no coverage or inadequate limited coverage for such lawsuits. So, it is important for a business to take the correct steps to minimize the risk of such lawsuits, and to be in a strong position to end any lawsuits quickly and cost-effectively.
