Intellectual Property Appointments (The Hive)

Everyone has some form of Intellectual Property (IP) and when you start a business you will create IP. The value of this should not be overlooked and should be protected.

All businesses or creatives will have some IP, whether it’s an invention, brand, product, design, artwork, literature or even a database.

These fall into 4 main categories:

• Copyright (protects for example, artistic works and written works.)
• Trademarks (protects parts of a business brand, for example a logo, product name.)
• Patents (protects for example inventions/ new technologies that have a new way of doing something.)
• Registered and Unregistered Designs (protects the look of a product.)

Please note that we cannot give legal or specialist advice and any information given during the talk and one-to-ones is for guidance only.

*As these sessions are limited please only book if you know you can attend.
