About this Event

Inspired by the improv show Whose Line Is It Anyway?, this event unboxes the pivotal role of Intellectual Property (IP) in commerce and culture. Discover the fascinating intersections of IP with confectionery, pop music and toys, underlining how these everyday items riff with culture and STEM. Join Marks & Clerk and comedic MC, Elizabeth Johnson, to explore why IP is crucial for innovation and cultural impact in diverse fields.
