The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) says that a business’s intellectual property is one of its most important business assets and that it wants to help businesses across the UK protect and make the most of theirs. 

The IPO is running bitesize webinars explaining each IP right and the process of applying.  This month they are running webinars on 31 March; you can sign up to:

Trade marks – find out how to apply for a trade mark for your business name and about the other assets you can trade mark, such as logos, sounds and colours.

Patents – find out how to protect your invention and how best to keep your creation secret until it is patented.

Additional webinars will take place at later dates.
