5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must-read' for all small business owners 19 Sep 2012
Format:Paperback
Shireen excels at making the complex simple. Intellectual property is a hugely complicated topic, but Shireen successfully distills it into bite size chunks that everyone can understand. Many entrepreneurs don't realise how vulnerable their brand can be if they don't take the appropriate steps to protect it, which is why I believe this is a must-read book for all business owners. For the price of a few cups of coffee you get thousands of pounds worth of legal advice. Get it today.

Format:Paperback
This book is a very practical guide to building and securing one of the most valuable assets your business can create ... a brand.

If you look at Google, Coke-a-Cola, Apple, Facebook, IBM, BMW and some of the other most respected businesses in the world, a huge percentage of their valuation is their brand. Imagine if 10 years into Google, they discovered that they couldn't legally or practically protect that brand; it could be a huge set back! It would be like spending years building a house on a block of land then discovering it isn't yours.

This book gives you the simple things to do now, so that you won't be caught out later. It's not academic in the way it's written and (unlike most legal books) it shows a deep understanding of the "real world" entrepreneurial process.

I was lucky enough to be at the book launch of this book and was blown away at how much support this book had from all angles. Small businesses were there, big businesses were there, start-ups and even academics were all there. Everyone was amazed at how this important topic isn't made more accessible... until now.
