For many start-up businesses and entrepreneurs, Intellectual Property or IP, is the difference between success and failure. Competing with larger, established business requires new and disruptive innovation. Much of that creativity and innovation can be protected with registered IP like patents for inventions, trademarks for brands and designs for the way a product looks.
The IP 101 Lunch and Learn workshop will help you understand the basics of patents, trade marks and designs so you can apply IP to your own business and learn what your next steps might be. Joined by experienced patent and trade marks examiners, you will walk away with a wealth of knowledge to apply practically to your business.
The IP Australia team would also love to hear from you. If you have any questions or if there is anything specific you want covered in the session please get in touch with the team by emailing outreach@ipaustralia.gov.au
