This workshop explains the rights available to businesses and how you can use them to your advantage. The benefits intellectual property rights can give are more than just protection to your ideas. They can also impact taxation and even immigration.
We will go through patents, trade marks, designs, copyright, and more. It will be explained what each right does and how to get them.
The requirements can be surprisingly low, especially for patents where people think inventions need to be a big leap. We hope to leave you informed, surprised, and thinking “I can patent that?!”.
Date: Wednesday 15 July
Time: 10am - 12pm
Venue: Electric Works, 3 Concourse Way, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 2BJ
