Copyright Aware™

Every day around the globe, in every company that designs or builds products, engineers reference copyright materials including Standards and technical documents. But few users understand what they can and cannot do in terms of copying and distributing these protected materials. Misuse is rampant, putting both the company and the individual at risk.

IP-Shield is committed to protecting both the creators and users of copyrighted materials in the workplace. Whether your company writes Standards and other technical documents, uses these documents to design or build a product, or does both, IP-Shield has products and services that help protect your content and your company.
