Intellectual Property and Motorsport SMEs
Silverstone Innovation Centre, Towcester,
Northants.
Intellectual Property (IP) has always been important to innovative business and none more so than the motor sport industry. With millions being spent each year on research and development, it is crucial that employers and employees understand what IP rights are, and how valuable they can be.
Held in conjunction with Silverstone Innovation Centre, this event focused on intellectual property issues arising within the motorsport industry.
The morning session was an interactive, practical workshop led by the UK Intellectual Property Office covering Patents, Trade Marks, Design Right and Copyright.
After lunch, the key (and very entertaining) speaker was Graham Mulholland, CEO of epm:technology, a company at the forefront of the composite industry and with strong links to the motorsport world.
