9. BENEFITS OF IP PROTECTION
Competitive Advantage - It gives the Company a competitive advantage in its commercial activities, by preventing unauthorised exploitation
Provides guarantees on quality and safety of products - products' origin is known and that they are genuine
Enabling indirect exploitation- revenues can be generated from direct exploitation and also indirect exploitation by third parties, under licensing contracts.
Collateral to obtain financing- can be used to convince third parties to provide financing (equity investment, loan granting, etc.).

10. INTERNAL CONTROL Know what you've got
If our IP is stolen by competitors, catching them is hard, prosecuting them is harder and getting the stolen information back is difficult
Know what you've got
All staff should protect all Company documents within their custody from unauthorized access
Audit
Periodic audit of IP assets to identify risk and to determine cost-benefit analysis
Lock it up
Physical and digital protection is a must. Lock the rooms where sensitive data is stored. Keep track of who has the keys. Use passwords and limit employee access to important databases and documents
Educate Staff
Awareness training is effective for plugging and preventing IP leaks.
Know your tools
Software tools are available for tracking documents and other IP stores
