Simon Haslam shares his advice for business owners, IP teams and investors on being aware of who owns the intellectual property in their organisation.
It is important that a business makes sure that it owns the rights in an invention before it files a patent application. This means that the business has to make sure that it owns the contributions of all the inventors, the people who came-up with the invention covered by the patent application. If the business does not own the rights, the patent or patent application could be in jeopardy and expensive ownership disputes could arise.
