Intangible assets and information security
Intellectual property refers to creations of the human mind that are protected by various national laws and international treaties, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, designs, logos, know-how and other intangible industrial or commercial property.
Rights & Brands’ clients are creators, originators and/or rights holders of intellectual property. This intellectual property is their most valuable asset and the very foundation of our business. Rights & Brands is committed to safeguarding trade secrets and intellectual property and defends any challenge, misuse or misappropriation of them vigorously.
In the same way that Rights & Brands expects others to observe Rights & Brands rights, Rights & Brands is committed to avoiding unlicensed or unauthorized use or misappropriation of intellectual property that validly belongs to others.
It is important to safeguard Rights & Brands’ confidential or business-critical information as any unauthorized use may seriously harm Rights & Brands’ business.
Rights & Brands respects the trade secrets and intellectual property that originators/ creators and copyright holders as well as customers or other partners have entrusted to Rights & Brands for business purposes. It is the responsibility of our Team Members to protect and maintain the confidentiality of such information, and practice caution in all communication, for instance in social media and to other stakeholders.
