World Intellectual Property Day
World Intellectual Property Day is observed annually on 26 April. The event was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2000 to “raise awareness of how patents, copyright, trademarks and designs impact on daily life” and “to celebrate creativity, and the contribution made by creators and innovators to the development of societies across the globe”. 26 April was chosen as the date for World Intellectual Property Day because it coincides with the date on which the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization entered into force in 1970.

Aligning your Intellectual Property (IP) and Business Strategies
Event lasts 4 hours Aligning your Intellectual Property (IP) and Business Strategies Intangible assets now make up a large portion of company valuations. However, many businesses still deal with issues relating to IP reactively when they get thrust into focus by events, rather than proactively. This leads to an outcome which is often less positive and nearly always more expensive. Mathys & Squire will be hosting a workshop on the importance of developing and implementing an effective IP strategy at an early stage, why this matters for investment and how it can add value to your business. A series of real-life case studies will be used to illustrate common mistakes and easy steps that can be taken to improve your IP position. Points to be covered include: Benefits of considering an IP strategy early on – what are the opportunities and what are the risks if you don’t? How to develop and implement an effective IP strategy – what does this involve in practice? What do, and should, investors consider when reviewing an IP portfolio? Collaborations with third parties Patents vs trade secrets Effective use of NDAs and managing confidential information
