IP Education
Do you understand IP issues and what IP might be relevant to your business?
Intellectual property is an general term covering patents, registered and unregistered design rights, copy rights, trade marks, database rights, and confidential information. These are legal rights given to encourage and reward creative or innovative endeavour by enabling an inventor, designer or creator to control use of their inventions or designs.
Intellectual property can be complex, and understanding all the different rights can be difficult. However, business owners and technical managers benefit from understanding what the different intellectual property rights cover, and how they apply to their business.
Our resources page has fact sheets and links to further information available to help you to understand IP issues better.

IP Audit
Do you know what IP you already have and how to protect it?
Intellectual property issues can arise in many different areas of your business, such as in your employment contracts and commercial agreements with your suppliers and customers as well as in product development.
An IP audit can help you to review areas of your business where IP issues need to be considered, to identify any protectable IP you have and to identify measures you can put in place to safeguard or protect your IP.
