With millions being spent each year on research & development, it is crucial that staff within Universities have an understanding of Intellectual Property rights, how to assess the worth or value of IP and negotiate the appropriate exploitation route.

Held in conjunction with the Universities of Lincoln and Loughborough, this FREE specialist seminar, with speakers from Imperial College London, Nottingham law firm Berryman and ProspectIP, will explore intellectual property issues arising within the university setting, particularly those pertinent to staff working within the areas of Business Development and Knowledge Transfer.

Lunch will follow, providing time for networking opportunities.
