Webinar: Who owns your idea? - Leeds Library Tech Talks

Expert patent attorneys Virginia Driver and Tom Woodhouse of Page White and Farrer presented a webinar as part of the Tech Talks series by Leeds Libraries and the Leeds Business and IP Centre.

Virginia and Tom explored a common question from inventors: ‘Who owns your idea?’ and discussed some key issues, including:

  • how to recognise that you have made a protectable innovation;
  • what steps should be taken to ensure you keep ownership of your ideas;
  • busting common myths that may result in protectable innovation being given freely to the public;
  • identifying into which category of innovator you fit; and
  • what you can and should do next.
