What counts as intellectual property and does your business have any? Nearly all businesses will own some form of intellectual property, and its important to know how you can protect it to ensure you aren't copied by anyone else. Intellectual property is something that you create using your mind - for example, a story, an invention, an artistic work or a symbol. There are four types of intellectual property rights in the UK: patents, copyright, trade marks and designs. Join us for our IP basics webinar to find out about each IP right.
