A Complete Guide on How to Build an IP Rights Database

Welcome to the course “A Complete Guide on How to Build an IP Database Using Asana”

This course is designed to teach you how to build your own database where to store all the information for your intellectual property (IP) rights in a way that will allow you to manage them properly.

You will learn how to build such a database using one of the most well-known project management applications Asana.

Why having such a database is important?

Without a database, the protectionof your patents, trademarks, designs, domains, copyrights, etc. can be jeopardized,which in turn can lead to lost profit and business opportunities.

What is the chance of this happening?

Nowadays one of the biggest competitive advantages is the so-called intangible assets. According to some research, intangible assets represent 80% of the companies’ value in developed countries.

In most cases, these intangible assets are different intellectual property rights such as patents for inventions, trademarks, copyrights, designs, domain names, copyrights, etc.

These rights can be the main reason for a company’s success or failure especially for startups and entrepreneurs because they can represent their sole market advantage.

In light of this, monitoring and management of all available intellectual property assets in one company is vitalfor its development.

Intellectual property protection requires some actions to be done in compliance with the law. That is to say, dealing with different procedures, negotiations, and deadlines will allow this protection to be granted.

Because of this, the information for all intellectual property rights has to be stored and managed in one database with easy access for daily monitoring.

This will help the intellectual property owner to know all the developments and deadlines and based on that to take the necessary decisions.

Without such a database, the existence of a company’s intellectual property can be jeopardized.
