Respecting clients' intellectual property is critical in the contract manufacturing world for many reasons, beyond just legal compliance. Manufacturers play a key role in upholding these principles, as contract manufacturers frequently bring client concepts to fruition as a finished product and are often working with sensitive information referred to as “intellectual property”. Intellectual property can refer to copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents.
Here are the three primary reasons that Services Plus, Inc. holds our customers' intellectual property in the highest regard:
Encouraging Innovation
Intellectual property protection encourages innovation by providing Services Plus, Inc. customers with the assurance that their ideas will be safeguarded and their information handled ethically. We foster a climate where clients feel comfortable investing time and resources in research and development, which we often handle for them.
Whether our customers are asking us to work on their manufacturing and packaging processes or on their product development, we provide outsourced innovation and strive to help our clients bring their consumer tissue and medical paper products to market quickly and with discretion. Without a safe avenue to market, new products wouldn’t get created!
Building Trust in Business Relationships
Clients often share sensitive information with us. By respecting their intellectual property, we ensure that our customers feel secure in their business relationship with Services Plus, Inc. and are more likely to return for future collaborations and continued business, as proven by our excellent track record of maintaining long-term relationships with our customers.
Taking intellectual property rights seriously helps build trust. A manufacturer who takes the time and effort to show that they will protect their customers’ intellectual property, above all, makes a trustworthy, reliable partner. You can trust us with your most sensitive information.
Building Brand Equity
Our customers’ value is not their market capitalization, but their brand equity. We’re able to confidentially grow and extend their brands quickly, increasing their overall value. _
Services Plus respects our customers' intellectual property rights because it contributes to the long-term success of our industry and positive relationships between our business and our clients. Our goal is to be known in the paper converting industry for complete respect of our customers’ products, processes, and innovations.
