EVENT DESCRIPTION
The UK has a rich heritage in the maritime field and our marine community holds a huge wealth of knowledge. However, it can be difficult to convert this knowledge into commercial success or a sustainable competitive advantage.
Intellectual Property (IP) rights offer you an opportunity to leverage and protect your ideas. Patents, trade marks and design rights help you exclude competitors, market your products, and attract investment. Nevertheless, the rules on IP are intricate and many businesses can benefit from professional guidance. This is particularly true in the marine sector, where commercial operations extend across geographic borders and projects often involve large numbers of stakeholders.
In this presentation Guy Edwards, Patent Attorney and ex-Naval Architect, will help demystify Intellectual Property and offer advice specific to companies in the marine sector. You will receive tips on developing an IP strategy that matches your commercial goals, advice on how your company can navigate the IP system, and guidance on the support available for innovative maritime businesses.
The event is suitable for people with any level of experience in IP. It will be of particular benefit to those responsible for making decisions on how their businesses protect and develop their technologies and brands.
