Event Details

Intellectual Property (IP) rights refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, and images used in commerce. These rights are essential in encouraging innovation and generating groundbreaking solutions to global challenges.

They are also valuable assets for businesses, as patents, trademarks, and copyrights distinguish them from competitors and allow creators to earn recognition and financial rewards from their work.

The IP system aims to create an environment in which creativity and innovation can thrive, but it's important to note that these valuable rights can be vulnerable if not protected and enforced. Taking active steps to safeguard your IP can make a significant difference in ensuring that your creative and innovative ideas are respected and valued.

In this event with Gladys Tan, a Director of David Llewelyn & Co LLC , you will understand how you may safeguard, secure and exploit your IP rights fully to protect your business.
