Intellectual Property - your rights
Wednesday June 17th 16:00 - 18:00
In a knowledge economy, intellectual property (IP) is increasingly important, but what are intellectual property rights and how do you use them?
This presentation from Matt Dixon will give a whistle-stop overview of the kinds of intellectual property protection available to British companies, and how these can be used to secure the value of a business.
The presentation covers trade marks, patents, copyright, registered designs and confidential information and aims to give business executives enough understanding that they can identify the intellectual property issues in their own business and seek relevant advice.
For participants with some experience of intellectual property, the presentation will fill in the gaps in their knowledge and provide an opportunity to ask questions on specific issues.
