The role IP plays in our business strategy
All my inventions have been patented. When I patented my first invention it was a steep learning curve. I was more IP aware when it came to protecting my second invention, the Anywayup® cup.
Mandy puts her success down to six things, one of them being having enough awareness of IP to ensure that her ideas are adequately protected in key markets.
