IP – An introduction to one of your company’s biggest assets
Intellectual Property or “IP” is an asset that often doesn’t get recognised let alone valued. The IP owned by your company may range from your company’s trading name to the brands used to sell your products to inventions and designs which are yet to be protected. IP is often perceived as being intangible but this is far from the truth. It is real and valuable.
We will explain how you can identify and protect your IP, how to stop competitors stealing your IP and when it has been stolen how you can take action for the damage caused.

“I knew that I needed help with my marketing for my business. I’ve tried a lot of things in the past but never really had a plan. The PUSH Academy and Nial Adams in particular had come very highly recommended to me. So I decided to invest in myself and join the programme. I wasn’t disappointed!
“The training and support has been excellent, the whole course and material is so in-depth but not in a way that I couldn’t get to grips with it. Nial has a natural way of putting the content across in a relaxed and simplified manner that is easy to understand and grasp, but is still very effective.
“Since participating in this marketing course I have completely re-focused my business model and marketing plan and it has quite simply helped me to look at where my business is going and where I want to take it. The results so far have been very impressive!
“I would quite simply say that you, or your business, can’t afford NOT to be on Nial’s next Academy term because I can guarantee that if you put Nial’s methods to good use then your business will grow and benefit!
