| The Intellectual Property Office business engagement team are continuing the series of free bitesize intellectual property (IP) Basics webinars in 2022. It was wonderful to see so many people keen to protect their business' IP at our previous webinars. This month, the webinars will run on Thursday, 24 February. We previously ran webinars on each of the four intellectual property rights, shared an overview of IP Basics and gave an introduction to protecting your IP abroad. This month, the webinar topics include: Designs, find out how to protect the way your product looks with a registered design and the steps involved when applying. Copyright, copyright is an automatic right, find out how you can defend your copyrighted work and how long the copyright lasts depending on the type of work.  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 registered designs. Check out our Intellectual Property overview and tools listed below to find out which IP rights apply to you. Keep your eyes peeled for new webinars Don't worry if you can't make it this time, we will be running these topics again. We will continue the series next month, with more webinars focusing on the different areas of intellectual property.
