1-Day Programme on the Ownership & Control of Intellectual Property Rights: Copyright, Moral Rights, Database Rights, Design Rights, Patents, and Trade Marks (London, United Kingdom - March 4, 2020)

DUBLIN, Dec. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Ownership and Control of Intellectual Property Rights" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The world of intellectual property can be complex and confusing and this course is designed to get you up to speed on the main types: what they are, how to protect and exploit your own intellectual property and how to avoid infringing someone else's.

It is a perfect one-day primer designed to make you feel like a 'mini-expert' in every area of intellectual property rights in both practical and commercial terms. By familiarising you with the most important legislation and case law, the course will also arm you with the ability to look up further questions yourself.

In addition, the day will offer an invaluable opportunity to ask the expert trainer about any particular issues that may affect you and your business and to interact with other delegates and learn from their experiences.

Why you should attend:

• Learn about the main types of intellectual property rights
• Understand how to protect the intellectual property rights of your organisation
• Get to grips with the legislative framework and case law for each type of intellectual property right
• Consider how to avoid infringing a third party's intellectual property rights
• Get up to date with the latest law and practice
• Understand the pitfalls - and how to avoid them
• Master the differences between copyright and unregistered design rights
• Expand your knowledge of copyright, patents and trademarks
• Appreciate how useful trademarks can be to build a brand and denote the origin of your goods and services
