Intellectual property
Clear ownership
The focus is on appropriate protection, orderly use, and maintaining value across the wider group.
Intangible assets
Holding value that is not physical.
Intellectual property can include names, brands, creative rights, designs, domains, and other protected interests. Good stewardship begins with clarity over ownership and permitted use.
Ownership records
Keep the identity, scope, and ownership of relevant rights clear and appropriately documented.
Protection
Consider registrations, renewals, monitoring, and other proportionate steps needed to preserve rights.
Use and permission
Support orderly use so that valuable identity and reputation are not weakened or confused.
Continuing relevance
Review whether each right still serves a useful purpose within the wider portfolio.
