In times like these, innovation is key. New ventures, new projects, new businesses will be the lifeblood of the post-COVID-19 economy. Now is the time to start.

Protecting those innovations using intellectual property (IP) as a business tool can increase the chances of success. Having a sound, knowledgeable, and positive approach to IP can give a new venture gravitas, credibility, and demonstrate a competitive edge in the market and to potential partners.

This talk is aimed at businesses who are thinking about:

  • what to do next;
  • how to give a new venture or project, whether in a proposed, new, or existing business, the best chance of success using IP;
  • how to learn enough about IP, both free and registrable IP, to turn it into a useful business tool to open doors and start conversations as well as protect assets.
