IP for Innovation Workshops are funded through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funded programme Low Carbon Solent (www.greentechsouth.com). This intellectual property workshop is designed to help you explore the process of patenting new ideas – what is patentable, why patent protection is important, how to secure protection and the importance of considering these questions early on in any technology venture.
These virtual sessions are brought to you by Maucher Jenkins, Patent and Trademark attorneys based in Farnham. For more information on Maucher Jenkins, please click here
Workshop Information
This workshop will be held over two sessions:
Session 1: 2nd November at 9:30 - 10:30
Session 2: 9th November at 9:30 - 10:30
The first workshop will also discuss trade secrets and the choice between trying to patent and trying to maintain a secret – what can be considered a trade secret and what steps need to be put in place to maintain confidentiality in ideas and valued information.
The second workshop will look in more depth at a case study of technology patented in the Green Energy sector, and typical development of a patent portfolio for a start-up technology company. It will also explain the Patent Box scheme for reduced corporation tax for patented technology.
There will be ample scope in each workshop to explore the experiences and impressions participants may have from engaging with the world of patents, as well as trademarks and copyright. Follow-up sessions can be arranged to discuss confidential topics.
