WEBINAR: An Introduction to IP - Designs

Hosted by Dave Paton and Greg Iceton on 16 July 2020, this webinar covers design protection. Although the basic concept of design registration is simple, the law relating to it is rather complex - in this webinar, Greg and Dave examine how to make the most out of design protection irrespective of the product.
As well as designing a product to work efficiently, most manufacturers make a significant investment in the appearance of their products. Dyson vacuum cleaners and Apple computers are items that are as well known for their original appearance as for their technical capabilities. Such investment often brings a high return in terms of value added to products, but how can that investment be protected?
