Protecting rights to IT developments is necessary to achieve several goals:
Financial benefit. Intellectual property rights allow developers and companies to receive financial benefits from their work. Copying developments without permission can lead to loss of income and reduced motivation to create new products and services.
Innovative development. Protecting rights stimulates innovative development, as developers are confident in the protection of their investments and can invest resources in the creation of new technologies.
Product quality. Originality of developments contributes to the improvement of the quality of products and services on the market. Copying can lead to the spread of low-quality products, which can negatively affect the reputation of the entire industry.
Strengthening consumer trust. Consumers trust original products and services more, knowing that they are protected by the developer. This strengthens trust in brands and promotes long-term relationships with customers.
Technological leadership. Protecting rights allows companies to maintain technological leadership, ensuring control over innovation.
