The rapid growth of technology and digital content is increasing the complexity and the importance of intellectual property rights (IPR). Intellectual property protection at an early stage is essential for turning ideas into opportunities. Too often, students, researchers and startups miss out by delaying or overlooking this crucial step.
This compact workshop will help you understand how to protect your projects or ideas - when they come to projects, with practical examples and real cases.
