It is important that businesses of all sizes take an active interest in, at least, protecting their IP.  Enforcing IP is costly; however, and only used as a last resort.  Most registerable IP can be registered at reasonable cost and typically provides a deterrent to competitors, who will be mindful of your IP.  Marking all of your products and company literature, including your website, enhances the deterrent effect.  Typically, the deterrent effect also provides an immeasurable financial benefit to your business, as reduced competition helps the profitability of your business.
