Intellectual Property for Creatives

Join the Economy Team on 5th June at Pure Offices, Portishead for an in-person interactive workshop that will demystify the topic of Intellectual Property for your Creative Organisation. 

Intellectual Property (IP) touches everything that makes life more enjoyable, easier, safer, and prosperous. Whether its life saving medicines, technology that connects us, or our favourite TV show and song, IP is everywhere and adds value to our life.

For creative businesses especially, IP is what you do. Whether it is the written/artistic/video content that you produce, your brand that draws in your customers or the looks and appearance of the products you create, you will have lots of valuable IP assets within your business that you may not be utilising to their full potential or may have associated risks that you have not mitigated.

This in-person interactive workshop will be led by Andrew Reith, Greater Manchester & WoE Policy Adviser for the Intellectual Property Office and will help you to:  

• Identify what Intellectual property assets you have and use.
• Consider their value to your business.
• Understand some of the risks and opportunities related to these assets.
• Understand what Intellectual Property Rights are and how they can protect your IP assets.
• Know where to go for more information and help.

This workshop is part of a series of free events throughout 2024 for the North Somerset Creative Industries that is run in partnership with the WofE CA Create Growth Team, Super Culture, and the hive.

The workshop is free to attend but places will be limited.
