This online tool is free to use and offers advice on identifying, protecting and commercially exploiting IP.
Businesses can learn about trade marks, copyright works, patents, designs, design rights and confidential information, and identify where they require support.
The toolkit guides users through a step-by-step process, helping them to identify IP opportunities and maximise the value they could add to their overall business development.
Users complete an online questionnaire, and receive a tailored confidential report, with recommended action points on protecting and exploiting IP, guidance on how to put those in place, and links to further information.

UK IPO website.
