Appleyard Lees IP and pro-Manchester are pleased to present a series of small-group workshops for start-up companies, where innovators, entrepreneurs, business owners and intellectual property (IP) specialists will discuss the IP challenges facing similarly-situated start-up organisations.

Patent, trade mark and commercial IP specialists from Appleyard Lees IP will facilitate focused conversations organised by sector, technology or IP interest. Attendees are encouraged to submit queries or topics in advance, which will form a tailored agenda for each session. Attendance will be limited to ten registrants per group, to ensure discussion is personal, relevant and useful to all.

Attendees are encouraged to register for more than one session, if relevant. Sessions include:

Protecting inventions and growing a start-up company with patents

Patents are one of the most well-known types of intellectual property. However, what can be patented is often less understood by new entrepreneurs and innovators. Join us for a discussion focused on what can be patented, how start-up businesses can secure, leverage and commercialise patents, and other common patent-related issues faced by start-up businesses.

Session one will bring together those innovating in the physics, engineering, software and/or electronics sectors. Register for this session if your business’ tech relates to artificial intelligence, software, computing, machine learning, the IoT, gaming, etc.
