Own-it and Centre for Competitive Creative Design, an interdisciplinary partnership between LCC (London College of Communication) and Cranfield University invite you to a conference on 8th and 9th March 2010
Teaching and advising on IP in the creative sector - a platform for debate for business advisors, HE teaching personnel, technology transfer managers, creative practitioners and lawyers
Asia House
63 New Cavendish Street
London W1G 7LP
We live in an innovation-based economy with intellectual property (IP) as the driving force of sustainability and growth. Therefore, IP is one of the most valuable assets of a creative business. Creative sector graduates and businesses need to be aware of how to protect, manage and exploit IP rights in order to sustain or grow a business in a global and very competitive market place. Business advisors and creative sector academics need to recognise the value of IP, know about new opportunities of exploitation and when and where to refer their clients or students for further intervention.
This two-day conference will provide business advisors, higher education academics, technology transfer managers, creative businesses and IP lawyers and professional advisers with a platform for debate on government policies, the effect of digital technology on conventional business models and new trends in IP management. Seminars, plenary sessions and workshops will enable you to close knowledge gaps, address communication issues with clients and students, and talk about sector specific IP issues as well as generic problems that are relevant throughout the creative industry.
