A practical, hands-on look at how intellectual property rights fit into the innovation process
This half-day intensive session takes a fresh, accessible, workshop-based approach to the issues of identifying and exploiting IP rights. We look at the entire innovation process, from concept through to commercialisation and set out the context in which IP rights arise and how and why they are useful.
A series of interactive sessions will be run to heighten focus on key stages of the product development process. Content will include invention, design, branding, how best to exploit innovation, the sensitive issue of infringement and where to find financial support.
A number of formal presentations will be provided looking at patents and confidentiality; the differences between registered and unregistered designs; trade mark creation, clearance and registration; licensing, franchising, sale and assignment; IP litigation, in particular process and costs; and finally, access to finance and insurance.
Our primer is intended to give you and your organisation the knowledge required to protect your investment in R&D and brand building activity so as to maximise revenue.
