Where to start when you have a business idea but you’re not sure whether you’re being protective enough of the intellectual that is being created with it? Are you considering your local competitors and existing patents in other countries? How to make sure you’ve researched relevant legal frameworks?
The goal of this session is to give an introduction into different IP elements, legal structures and research methods to consider when building or scaling an innovative product or service.
