Ownership and Exploitation of Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual property (IP) is one of your organisation’s most valuable assets - yet it’s an area that can often feel complex, technical, and full of potential pitfalls

. This intensive one-day training course will give you a clear, practical understanding of the main types of IP, how to protect and maximise your own rights, and how to avoid infringing those of others.

Designed as a focused, hands-on primer, the training course will walk you through copyright, trade marks, patents, design rights, database rights, moral rights and more - explaining how each works in both legal and commercial terms.

You’ll learn the essentials of IP legislation and case law, equipping you to identify risks, spot opportunities, and confidently handle IP issues in your day-to-day work.

With expert guidance, real-world examples, and plenty of time for Q&A, you’ll leave not only with a ‘mini-expert’ understanding of IP rights but also with practical tools and strategies you can apply immediately.

You’ll also have the chance to exchange experiences with peers, gaining fresh insights and perspectives from across different sectors.

This is an essential training course for anyone who needs to understand intellectual property and how to use it to strengthen, protect and grow their business.
