Page White Farrer hosted an event during Leeds Digital Festival 2022 explaining how to realise the potential of your intellectual property.
On 22 September, European patent attorney Andrew McKinlay gave a talk about safeguarding intellectual property and obtaining patents for tech startups alongside Paul Berwin and Elle Margerison of Berwins Digital.
The true value of a tech business does not lie in buildings and physical assets – it lies in its people, and in the intellectual property they create. But what many founders overlook is that, although they may have created IP, they do not automatically own it – and even those who do often fail to unlock its true potential.
Andrew, Paul and Elle discussed:
- what IP is and what it is not;
- types of protection for intellectual property;
- main infringement issues in the creative and tech sector
- steps you need to take to properly protect your IP;
- pitfalls facing companies which fail to do so; and
- the Golden Rule of IP protection.
