Building Resilient Organisations & Leaders | The Prepared Leader Podcast | Crisis Management | Business Continuity | Risk Management

Last week’s Resilient Business Continuity Leaders session highlighted the critical importance of intellectual property protection as a resilience issue, not just a legal requirement. Clive Bonny from Strategic Management Partners Ltd shared a striking statistic: approximately 1 in 3 UK small businesses experience IP infringement, often without their knowledge.

We discussed real-life cases, including a design dispute that resulted in a £6m loss for a business due to a £60 registration they overlooked. We also debunked myths about Companies House “protection” and emphasized how properly registering your brand can save significant amounts in the long run.
