Virginia Driver and Tom Woodhouse presented a free webinar for Bruntwood SciTech alongside Paul Berwin and Sam Crich of Berwins Digital. They explored how tech businesses can maximise their value by using intellectual property to guard software innovation.
Too often, entrepreneurs give away their cornerstone innovation to competitors by making assumptions about how intellectual property rights are established and owned. The panel of experts looked at:
- the protection given by both copyright and patents in the software sector;
- the benefits and issues with opensource software;
- what a well written licence and SaaS agreement can achieve;
- what opensource licenses can do, or undo; and
- how trade marks can be at the core of a business’ brand (and how it can go wrong).
