by Startacus Admin
From understanding what counts as intellectual property, what type of mistakes businesses make when it comes to their IP, to what to do if you think IP theft has occurred, we chatted to Andrew Kirke, Director at commercial law firm Tughans to find out more about intellectual property.

The firm has successfully served the business community for over 121 years and key to their enduring success is to work with clients through a mix of practice areas tailored to meet their individual needs.
Through a series of Startacus chats, we sat down with the Tughans team to find out more about many of the legal fundamentals that a startup will need to know as they grow and scale their business.
