Gavin Doherty: Patent & Trade Mark Attorney – Protecting Your Business – IP for Startups

HIGHLIGHT PRESENTATION – MDP PATENT’S OWN GAVIN DOHERTY

 Gavin will be speaking on  “Protecting Your Business – IP for Startups”

How IP can help your startup. For many startup businesses and entrepreneurs, IP is the difference between success and failure. Competing with larger established businesses requires new and disruptive innovation. Much of that creativity and innovation can be protected with registered IP like patents for inventions, trade marks for brands, and designs for the way a product looks.

Learn about the different types of trademarks. How these can apply to a startup business, how to protect, register and defend it your IP, and how to best commercialise your IP.

JOIN IN AND HAVE FUN LEARNING ABOUT HOW IP CAN HELP YOUR STARTUP!
