Every now and then I get asked about design protection. The answer is yes you should do it if you think you have something to protect. It can however be quite complicated so before you start you need to get your head around what protection you actually need. You can go to a simple introduction on this site www.allbrook.net/intelligence/protection.html and then I suggest you make for Trevor Baylis' site (yes he of clockwork radio fame) at http://bit.ly/3Ie2bz.
He is a bit of a fanatic when it comes to design protection so that is why it is worth listening to what he has to say. His company even offers consultancy.
A lot of what you do is covered by copyright, but I recommend trademarking names that you want to keep and use long term. It is only when you get into registered designs and patents that things start getting both complex and pricey but like I say if it's worth protecting...

Time to get back to work
Funny old year 2009, a summer that never materialised a deep recession with high unemployment... oh and a lot of people just not doing very much, horns retracted! Well it's September now holidays are over, it is time to get back to work and make the economy sing again.
From a marketing point of view the number one step is to remind your clients that you still exist, get in touch, get out and meet them take them out to lunch. Whatever you do just make sure you actually DO something!
You can DO other things too, refresh your website, start writing that blog again, be out there!
...oh I forgot and do it with style!
