IP Information Appointment

A virtual one-to-one meeting to help you better understand how you can protect and use the IP in your business.

Intellectual Property (IP) consists of four main areas: copyright, trademarks, patents and registered designs. Knowing and understanding your IP rights can help you to ensure that you are safeguarding your creativity effectively, and reduce the chances of problems further down the line.

In this session, our BIPC Devon staff will help you identify the IP in your business, and consider options for protecting it. We can give you an overview of the IP system in the UK, information on how to apply for the different rights, and help with basic searches.

Please note: We are NOT able to provide legal advice. We can, however, provide information and signposting, to help you better understand how you can protect and use the IP in your business.

Testimonials

Thank you for a very focused and interesting session, it was most useful.

The internet is brilliant, but overwhelming if you don’t know where to look, so to discover that the information I need can be found in a few specific sites was invaluable.

Liz, Barnstaple
I’ve accessed several of the BIPC Devon services over the past year and have found them to be invaluable sources of information each time.

The staff have always been kind, professional and helpful, even when I haven’t really known exactly what I am looking/asking for. I’d recommend them as the perfect place to start if you are even considering something IP related within your business, or if you have never even considered IP and your business.
Excellent! So valuable and down-to-earth.

I have been so impressed and relieved to have found BIPC...especially during the (sometimes daunting) period of setting up my own business.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The free resources and tools that BIPC Devon are able to offer are fantastic and can really help any business of any size.

Being able to access.... the support is an incredible opportunity that all budding entrepreneurs should seize.
Can I just say these courses are such a huge help, thank you to everyone who is involved with running them.

It’s great to feel that there is support out there to start on this epic business journey in such a time of chaos, so thank you all once again.
