Intellectual Property for Research
Intellectual Property is important when considering opportunities to create impact. Whether your goal is for cultural, social, or economic impact, IP can support your outcomes. IP rights include:
- Patents
- Trademarks
- Copyright
- Design Rights
As a researcher it is vital that you understand IP, are aware of its implications for your research, and can identify and manage the IP arising from your research. This webinar will also help you to understand the support available within your institution with an opportunity for reflection, discussion, and questions.
This webinar is ideal for those new to IP, and will include:
- An introduction to IP, the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), and why IP is important
- A discussion of the main IP Rights (copyright, patents, design, and trade marks)
- Brunel’s approach to IP, the role of the Research Support and Development Office, and their support for research projects
