Local Planning Notes
Caledon IP planning should focus on local brand identity, confidential know-how, product materials, and contractor terms.
Know-how should be kept confidential
Processes, customer lists, pricing, supplier details, recipes, methods, and training materials need practical access controls.
Product and marketing materials need ownership clarity
Photos, labels, drawings, websites, videos, and packaging created by outside providers should be covered by written terms.
