BAINES Wilson LLP Intellectual Property specialist, Adam Turley (pictured) is partnering with Cumbria Innovation Platform and Eco-Innovation Cumbria to host a series of workshops on Intellectual Property rights for businesses.
Adam assists companies with the protection, registration and enforcement of rights, the creation of brand protection strategies, as well as issues around ownership and commercialisation of intellectual property.
What are the workshops about?
Copyright, trade marks, patents and designs – the core intellectual property (IP) rights – can provide essential protection for your business ideas and assets. This interactive workshop will provide practical information on the legal IP issues which matter in practice. You will learn how to seize opportunities and maximise value, how to ensure rights are not lost and those created are protected, and to avoid infringing other company’s IP.
This workshop is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for eligible businesses (see below) and there will be no charge to your business. A light buffet lunch will be provided at the start of the workshop with refreshments during the course of the afternoon.
