Wake Up Call: How to protect your IP when working with contractors, employees, collaborators and suppliers
BCI Webinar
Many businesses and individuals underestimate when they create intellectual property (IP), and when their freelancers, suppliers and collaborators create it.
This can lead to a minefield of lost opportunities, diluted rights ownership and worse still – breach of third party rights.
In this webinar, business lawyer Jessica Bent, Partner at Keystone Law, will discuss the legal issues to ensure your intellectual property ownership and rights are clear and protected across all the relationships your business relies on. It will help you identify when IP comes into existence and what you need to protect, own and monetise it.
