This is a key concern for all creators, and with good reason. Why is it so? <\/span>

If a creation is poorly protected, there is a risk that it will be misappropriated by a competitor. Protecting your creations means providing yourself with the means to act against infringers or unfair practices, but also enhancing the value of your creation and your intangible assets, stimulate creativity, increase your credibility, and develop in new markets. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Several means are available to creators to protect their creations. <\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The secret. <\/u><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The first instinct of an entrepreneur is not to disclose any information to his\/her interlocutors and to avoid disseminating exhaustive business plans. Remaining as discreet as possible until the business is launched<\/b> is the best protection for an idea. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    There is no time limit, as long as the secrecy exists. However, this does not confer any exclusive right on the content of the secret. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    If the project must be disclosed to third parties, such as service providers or investors, to enable it to be implemented, then this disclosure must be legally protected by a non-disclosure agreement<\/b>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    It is recommended that proof of anteriority of the creation be established to anticipate any litigation. <\/span>
    <\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Intellectual property. <\/u><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Intellectual property law confers exclusive rights on certain types of creations for a certain period. These are materialized creations since ideas cannot be protected under this law. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Intellectual property concerns creators in the artistic sense as much as those in industry. The advantages of holding private rights are that the holder of the rights can bring an action for infringement should his\/her creation be copied, and that the creation can be valued as an intangible asset. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      Several types of creations can obtain protection under intellectual property law if certain conditions are met:<\/span>
