In Florida, new businesses are started every day. While business owners are often focused on the basics of running the business, there are much more complicated matters that will eventually come up. One of these is the reality of protecting intellectual property. According to the The Heartland Institute, the United States is ranked number one in intellectual property protection among the 50 largest economies in the world, but China still remains a large problem.
Understanding contract consideration
Your business partnerships in Daytona Beach are much more clearly defined when you have a contract in place. Yet as many of the companies that we here at Smith Bigman Brock have worked with in the past can attest to, simply having a written contract does not mean that such an agreement is valid (and, by extension, enforceable). It is the language and terms within a contract that confirms its validity.
Copyright protections and the need for clarity
Business people in Florida across a variety of industries may find themselves without a clear understanding of copyrights. This type of protection is one of many forms of intellectual property and may also be one that has the potential for unintentional violations by individuals or companies.
