(4) PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BY START-UPS
Among all the other numerous fundamental issues involving developing a product, raising capital, hiring employees, meeting statutory compliances etc., intellectual property protection can feel expensive or deflecting from the goals of launching a product into the to market before other competitors. However, the value of several start-ups is primarily based on their intellectual property i.e. their “Intellectual Capital”. For a technology startup intellectual property issues are among the most essential concerns which need serious deliberations. In this digital age, it has become easy for users to abuse Intellectual Capital that has been developed after several years of hard work. The work that has been produced with diligent and painstaking efforts, gets easily copied, reworked and duplicated with minimal efforts. This resultantly affects the upon the economic conversions goal of a startup like obtaining venture capital funding, investments by angel investors or partnerships. Therefore, it is vital for every start-up to understand the importance of IPR and protect itself from violation or beach by a third party.
