Many businesses are modest when it comes to protecting their good ideas.
If your first thought is; “I don’t have any ideas and secrets worth protecting...” then think again! How would you feel if a competitor started trading under a name very similar to yours? Or plagiarised some of the content of your website to use on theirs? Or used one of your ex-employees to discover sensitive information about who your customers are and how much you charge them? Or pretended to approach you about a joint venture, in order to learn more about your business and your financial information? It may sound far-fetched, but the Pictons team have been asked for help by businesses experiencing every one of these problems.
All businesses have ideas and secrets which need protecting, even if they do not realise it. This could be a trademark or trading name, a domain address and website content, an operating model, customer lists, financial information or product designs.
