Intellectual property and licensing
It is vital for every small business in the creative industry to be aware of – and protect – their rights regarding IP theft. This is an area that is traditionally not covered in most training courses at University and College and is misunderstood by a lot of people. This seminar is designed to better inform you so you can protect yourself should you find someone is copying your work. It will also tell you how you can use licensing to increase the potential of certain designs or products and the potential pitfalls and benefits of choosing to license an idea. Topics covered by the speakers include:
- How to protect your designs
- What is protected by common law commercial use
- What is the cost of pursuing IP violations
- How effective is international IP protection
- How to go about licensing an idea
- How to establish a business relationship between a licensee and licensor
- How to attract potential licensees
- How to access licensing trade fairs and related events
- How to develop a license agreement
- Case studies
