Identify the Right IP
Understanding IP requires grasping both contentious and non-contentious perspectives. It’s essential to identify, register, monitor, and exploit your IP while being prepared to argue your legal rights in court if necessary. Choosing the correct type of IP for your case is vital for effective enforcement or defense, particularly when alternative claims exist. Failing to protect the right IP may lead to your case being dismissed by the court. Losing a dispute over IP can result in significant costs, which can be mitigated by properly identifying and safeguarding your IP early in your business journey.
Trade Secrets
The law on trade secrets in the UK is governed by The Trade Secrets (Enforcement etc.) Regulations 2018 (the Regulations). S 2(a) of the Regulations defines trade secrets as a secret that is not generally known, has commercial value due to its secrecy, and has been subject to reasonable steps to keep it a secret.
Copyright
Concerns original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, you can sue for copyright infringement. Copyright works include literature, drama (tv, film, theatre, mixed-media), music, video, architecture and computer software.
Patent
Inventions that are granted monopoly rights by the state for up to 20 years. Must be novel. Must not be disclosed and must contribute to the prior art, constituting an inventive step. The primary UK legislation is the Patents Act 1977.
Confidential Information
Confidential information can be any information that satisfies the three-stage test that is based on case law. First, there must be a quality of confidence to the information (see Coco v AN Clark (Engineers) Ltd [1969] RPC 41 at 47). Secondly, the discloser must give the information in circumstances that give rise to an obligation of confidence. Lastly, there must be an unauthorised use or disclosure (either actual or threatened) of the confidential information which has or will cause a detriment to the party communicating it.
Trademarks
A trademark can be defined as any sign used to identify the source of the goods or services related to it, whether registered or unregistered and the associated devices and get-ups. Words, logos, sounds, shapes, multimedia, motion and holograms can all be trademarks. Even smells are considered as potentially capable of being a trademark. S1.1 of the Trademark Act 1994 substituted (14.1.2019) by The Trademarks Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/825), regs. 1(1), 3 (with Pt. 5) sets out the formal definition.
