How do I protect my intellectual property rights when developing accounting software in Australia?

When developing accounting software, consider patenting unique algorithms or processes. Register copyrights for the software code, user interfaces, and documentation. Use software licenses with end-users, outlining usage restrictions and rights. Employ NDAs when collaborating with others, ensuring protection during development stages. Implement strong digital security to prevent unauthorized access or copying. Regularly monitor the market for similar software and be ready to enforce your IP rights if infringements are detected.
