Making Intellectual Property Work for You

In the rapidly evolving business landscape, intellectual property (IP) is one of the most valuable assets a company can possess. Yet, many businesses either underestimate its importance or lack a comprehensive understanding of their IP rights, leading to missed opportunities, and sometimes costly mistakes. Join us for an insightful event, where we delve into the essentials of IP management, the common pitfalls in IP and the crucial steps for conducting an effective IP audit.
