Members' Masterclass | Protecting innovation: the value of your IP

How do you demonstrate the value of your innovation to potential investors?

How do you protect your business?

As your business develops and innovates many of your assets are likely to be intangible ones. Such assets include goodwill, brand recognition, business relationships and intellectual property. Many of these can be difficult to value and imperative to protect if you want to be viewed as a credible proposition. Fortunately there is a large toolkit of intellectual property rights that may be utilised to help secure and protect many of these assets.

This Introduction to IP online masterclass will help you to identify and understand your intellectual property and introduce different ways in which those assets can be protected and used to add to the value of your business.

This two hour online workshop will be delivered by our IP-Adviser-in-Residence, David Paton, Partner at Dehns, a patent and trade mark attorney firm based in the UK with offices in Bristol.
