‘Your technology, branding and confidential information are key assets. If you find that a competitor is taking advantage of them illegally you may be tempted to let them know straight away. You may also want to inform the supply chain in public statements about infringing imports, or products that take advantage of your proprietary technology. While this seems like the obvious first step to take, it is dangerous. If you are not careful you can find yourself at the wrong end of a “threats” action.’
