Many small businesses don’t protect their ideas!This can be as simple as trademarking a name or logo. Trademarks are a form of intellectual property, along with patents, designs and copy-rights, which protect original creations. They can protect from other businesses copying an idea.To do this may not be that expensive (typically £6,000 to register, using the services of a lawyer).

That could be a potential revenue stream! More information visit www.ipo.gov.uk
