The myths of intellectual property - putting the facts forward

We are delighted to provide the following seminar to tenants of Salford Innovation Park.

You spend time and money producing new and creative ideas, brands, products and processes.  Do you want to get the financial benefits or are you happy for your competitors to get a free ride?  Investment in Intellectual Property (IP) can give you a bundle of assets with business value.  You can sell your IP.  You can licence it for royalties.  Banks may lend money secured against it.  Investors like it.

"I've registered my company name with Companies House, so my brand is protected ... isn't it?"

"My invention is protected by copyright so no-one can copy me ... right?"

These are just a couple of the common 'myths' of intellectual property that can get you into hot water.  Are you prepared to take the risk?

Ean Davies, partner at Appleyard Lees, will take you through a pop quiz using 'real life' case studies and common pitfalls associated with IP.  He will show you how you can protect your investment in R&D and maximise the opportunities of your brand.
