This in-person seminar provides an introduction to intellectual property (IP) and the importance of identifying, managing, and protecting your assets. Whatever your idea, whether it’s an invention, a brand name, or a song, intellectual property can be very lucrative and play a vital role in your business.

We’ll talk about the basics of IP, give you an overview on how to avoid infringing on other people’s rights, and signpost you to useful links, resources, and formal legal advice. This 45 -minute webinar will cover the following:

Intro to IP

Patents

Trademarks

Registered designs

Copyright

Protecting Your IP Overseas

IP Disputes

You can also book a follow-up one-to-one conversation with a Business & IP Centre Advisor to discuss how these topics may apply to your business. Our webinar and follow-up consultations are information-only and no direct legal advice will be given.
