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

We'll share information on 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 30-minute webinar will cover the following:

• Intro to IP
• Patents
• Trademarks
• Registered designs
• Copyright
• Protecting your IP Overseas
• IP Disputes

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