Abstract: | Conclusion Protecting a merchandising program by the given means of Law means safeguarding substantial investment for obtaining a certain
Merchandising Property. Therefore protection should be found at a very early stage and has to be maintained with great care
to avoid later conflicts and loss of money. Before starting a merchandising program four steps should be resolved:
1. |
Find out what you want to merchandise. What has the potential?
|
2. |
Find out who is the owner of that intellectual property.
|
3. |
Protect the property against piracy.
|
4. |
Safeguard your expenses by solid contracts.
