When people think intellectual property (IP), they usually think patents! And they would be correct - patents are a valuable form of IP, but not the only one available to Kiwi innovators. Using IP strategically can protect your innovative ideas, assist you to develop a strong brand and reputation and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Join Baldwins and Dr Will Barker for drinks and networking as our experts demystify IP, discuss the ways IP can work for your technology and how to go about using IP to attract investment and commercialise your new idea.
