Protecting IP in catalysis involves a combination of legal and strategic measures. This includes:
- Patent Protection: Filing patents to secure exclusive rights to new catalysts and processes. - Trade Secrets: Maintaining confidentiality agreements and secure data management practices to protect non-patentable innovations. - Trademarks: Registering trademarks to protect brand names and logos associated with catalytic products and technologies. - Copyrights: Safeguarding written materials, software, and documentation related to catalytic research and applications.
