With the current turmoil in the markets, many will be battening down the hatches, leaving the consideration of intellectual property (IP) firmly at the bottom of the pile. But, when the turmoil is over, the astute will have positioned their IP in order to take advantage of the calmer waters ahead and to steal a march on lesser agile competition: And its not all about patents.

Many enterprises are now reviewing the recent opportunities arising from the changes in legislation relating to designs.
Surprisingly, to obtain a registered design can be quite inexpensive. It can be kept in force for longer than a patent and can prove more powerful. To value, present and exploit intellectual property (by licensing, sale or making a business) turns the wheels of enterprise but can be quite challenging if you're not sure of the subject.

Our range of workshops cover the matter from birth to the bottom line. They consider IP with respect to business goals and are invariably well received. The synopses are shown at http://www.reallyuk.co.uk/IPWS.pdf.

If you have four or more delegates then we can come to you with specially tailored sessions.
