Beginner's guide to intellectual property

An understanding of intellectual property and its protection is vital for anyone with an idea, whether it’s an invention, a brand name or a song.

This session will introduce the four areas of intellectual property and help you understand which may apply to you and your business:

Patents
Trade marks
Registered designs
Copyright

There will be an opportunity to ask questions of our expert staff.

For more detail on a particular area of intellectual property, try our dedicated workshops on each of the four areas.
