Everything that Makers need to know about Intellectual Property

<a href="https://www.arloesigwyneddwledig.cymru/en/prosiectau/ffiws/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ffiws (pronounced &quot;Fuse&quot; in English)</a> is a maker space on <a href="http://www.porthmadog.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Porthmadog</a> High Street. The space has the 3-D printer that you can see in the video as well as a laser cutter, heat press and all the other equipment that you would expect to find in such places.Before the recent lock down, the rural innovation organization for Gwynedd that runs Ffiws invited me to give a talk on intellectual property to the users of this space on 1 April 2020 at 17:30. That event had to be cancelled to comply with the COVID-19 legislation. As I could not visit Porthmadog I offered to give my talk online at a slightly later date and my offer has been accepted,As makers all around the world have responded to the COVID-19 emergency by making masks, goggles and visors, ventilators and all sorts of other personal protection equipment, intellectual property (the laws that protect investment in branding, design, technology and aesthetic works) has never been more important. I shall outline the relevant laws briefly and in everyday language and then discuss how to obtain such protection, how to enforce it, how to license it and where to get further help.In that regard, <a href="http://www.m-sparc.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">M-SParc (the Menai Science Park)</a> on Anglesey holds regular talks and clinics on IP for inventors, designers, artists and entrepreneurs which you may like to attend. There is also a network of specialists which includes a patent attorney, trade mark practitioner, commercial solicitor, accountant with expertise in IP taxation, an innovation consultant and me who can offer cost-effective and in some cases free advice.One of the compensations of going online is that makers in the rest of the world can attend the webinar and they are most welcome to do so. While there are some differences in national law, the general principles will be the same.If you have never visited Porthmadog this is an opportunity to learn about a beautiful region which has some of the best mountain, coastal and pastoral scenery in the world. The town used to be an important outlet for the export of slates which were brought to the port by the <a href="https://www.festrail.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ffestiniog Railway</a>.
