Beyond the patent: what happens to everything you can't register?
**This event is open to both members and non-members of Oxfordshire Greentech.**
---
Most clean tech businesses know how patents work. Far fewer have a plan for everything patents don't cover: the know-how, designs, trade secrets and original work that make up the majority of the IP estate.
To rely on any of it, in a dispute, a raise or a partnership, you have to prove three things: that it existed, that it's yours, and when.
In this Oxfordshire Greentech sponsored session, Niles Beadman from Mewburn Ellis will walk through where patents end and trade secrets begin, and what each is really for. George Featherstone of Peerdweb will pick up where patents stop, with a practical approach to registering the unregistered IP most businesses leave exposed, so you can prove it's yours when it counts.
If your business runs on more than its patents, this is for you.
