About this event

Find out the basics of Intellectual Property (IP) and why it is important to a new business to protect your assets!

At this workshop you will learn:

  • How to understand the 4 main types of IP & how they differ
  • Get a clearer idea of what IP you own
  • What's involved in registering a trademark
  • Where to go to for further help and advice

You will also learn about the Build A Business programme, offering support and facilities to help you succeed.

Plus meet our team and book in for individual support and advice.
