• Can Save You From The Risk Of Being Copied?

Introduction

• Imitation is supposed to be the purest form of
  flattery. However, it might be tough to be
  flattered when you operate a firm and discover
  that another company is clearly imitating your
  idea and every move you make.

3

• When a new idea is effectively implemented, it's
  natural for other businesses to try to copy it.
  Dealing with copycat competitors is a regular
  issue for most businesses, regardless of their
  industry. Those that steal your plans,
  strategies, moves, and occasionally even your
  name or logo will do so.
• You've worked hard to set yourself apart from the
  competition. So, what should you do if your
  business idea is plagiarised? Here are seven
  tactics you may use to stay ahead of the
  competition despite copycats.

4
Protect Your Company Legally

• The first step is to legally secure your company
  so that you can prevent such circumstances. The
  more legal protection your firm and
  product/service have, the better off you will be
  in the long run. Different sorts of intellectual
  property are protected by trademarks, patents,
  and copyrights (IP). A trademark protects logos
  and brand names on goods and services, while a
  patent protects an invention and copyright
  protects an original literary or artistic work.
  You can select the level of security you require
  based on the nature of your organisation and the
  products or services you provide.

• Second, you must safeguard your trade secrets,
  also known as business assets, which are a sort
  of intellectual property (IP). Manufacturing
  methods, assets, client lists, and sales plans
  are all trade secrets, and you may have to reveal
  a trade secret to your employees, suppliers,
  vendors, or other entities at some time in order
  to run a firm. Having someone sign a
  non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and/or a
  non-compete agreement is a straightforward way to
  secure your trade secrets.
• Should a legal issue arise, these protections can
  serve as concrete proof, as they also provide
  timestamps for when your idea or business first
  emerged.

Confront The Person Or Business That Copied You

7

• Contact a copycat firm or business owner
  immediately if you stumble across one. Call them
  and have a calm conversation with the people in
  control. Inform them that you are aware of their
  copying of your product and that you do not like
  it. Make it obvious to them that you will not
  hesitate to take legal action against them if
  necessary.
• If talking doesn't work and things get out of
  hand, contact intellectual property dispute
  lawyers, who can assist you issue a
  cease-and-desist letter or, if necessary, launch
  a lawsuit.

To Increase Brand Loyalty, Provide Superior
Service

9

• The majority of things can be easily duplicated,
  but exceptional customer service cannot.
  Customers will return to your business if you
  provide them with excellent service.
• Make an investment in brand loyalty. It will be
  difficult for loyal clients to abandon you only
  to save a few dollars. Customers are astute, and
  they like to weigh all options before choosing
  your competitor.

10
Refresh Your Business

• While you don't want to lose all of your goodwill
  with your customers, it might be time for a
  business makeover. Make minor adjustments while
  maintaining your company's integrity to
  demonstrate to your audience that you can adapt.
  This will also make the person or company who
  plagiarised you appear out of date. Consider this
  an investment rather than a cost.

11
Make Your Clients Speak For You

• Asking your consumers for testimonials and/or
  other unique stories about you and your brand is
  one of the most effective ways to get your
  message out. These will be one-of-a-kind to your
  company and consumers, and no one will be able to
  duplicate them. Allow your customers to share
  their stories about their interactions with you
  and the impact you've had on them. This will also
  help to strengthen your brand and reputation.

12
Investigate The Copycat Competitor

• In some circumstances, studying and learning from
  your copycats may be beneficial, since they may
  just help you grow. They'll either make the same
  errors you did, or they'll make fresh ones from
  which you can learn. These blunders may spark
  fresh ideas, reveal flaws in your own product or
  service, and/or call into question your
  assumptions.

13
Concentrate On Your Own Business

• Finally, keep in mind that if someone is copying
  you, it's because you're doing something
  worthwhile. It could also suggest that you're
  successfully leading the way, which is fantastic.
  So try to shut off all external noise and keep
  your copycats out of your thoughts. Rather,
  concentrate on developing your brand and making
  it the greatest that it can be.

  guidance can save you a lot of time and money in
