The Faculty of Advocates is proud to present The 10th Annual World Intellectual Property Day Conference from 11:30am to 2pm on Tuesday 2 May 2017.
This global event was set up in 2000 by the Geneva based World IP Organization, a United Nations agency dedicated to the use and promotion of intellectual property - <A HREF="http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/</A> .
World IP Day aims to raise awareness of the impact IP has on daily life, to teach us about how IP protection promotes creativity and innovation and to celebrate the contribution of creativity and innovation to society.
This event is an opportunity for us to celebrate Intellectual Property and World IP Day and to reinforce the importance of IP to Scotland and why it needs to be respected and protected. WIPO’s suggested theme this year is "Innovation - Improving Lives".
This very popular and free event will once again be chaired by Roisin Higgins QC, Advocate and IP law specialist and Graeme McWilliams, Legal Counsel, Standard Life. Our guest speakers are Dr. Anne Moore PhD, EPSRC IRC Project Manager, Queens Medical Research Institute, and Nora Kellock, Solicitor, Legal Services, both from The University of Edinburgh - “Proteus - the Fantastic Voyage to Revolutionary Lung Care”; and Mark Cruickshank, IP Legal Counsel, and Naresh Vyas, Head of Solutions, from The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, on the IP challenges faced daily by the bank.
The conference is open to all solicitors and advocates, trainees and devils, students and other professionals with an interest in IP and is an excellent networking opportunity.
As in previous years, we expect this conference to sell out fast!
