SAEEC Workshop - Intellectual Property: create it, protect it, and make money PLUS An overview of Government funding support for obtaining patents

Programme 

  • Intellectual property - its importance.
  • Create it; protect it - and make money.
  • Intellectual property can result in considerable benefits to its creator.
  • Intellectual property could cover patents (which would in turn relate to new inventions) or copyright (the creation of artistic works such as circuitry) or legends (such as the written word).
  • In addition trade marks are so important: they are the fingerprints which manufacturers leave in the market place, each manufacturer having a different fingerprint from the other.

Are you adequately knowledgeable and protected?
