How do you stop rivals from exploiting your unique knowledge? If your competitive advantage relies on know-how that only you possess - then a trade secret might offer better protection than a patent. Unlike patents, which publicly disclose your invention, trade secrets keep your valuable information hidden from competitors. Learn how to decide whether to file a patent and reveal your know-how, or keep it secret to protect your business advantage.
An episode in a weekly pilot series of bite-sized podcasts designed to give inventors, startups, entrepreneurs, and micro-entities and other businesses the tools to protect their technology with intellectual property (IP). Tune in every Friday at 9.00 am (also on YouTube & LinkedIn) to supercharge your innovation journey!
