It’s all in the ‘look’. Why industrial designs matter.
Intellectual property is a valuable business asset that can help you avoid costly mistakes. Understanding intellectual property rules gives entrepreneurs an edge over their competition, and helps with identifying industry trends, targeting areas for innovation, and connecting with key contacts.
Has your keen eye for detail led to the development of a more appealing and innovative design of a product we use every day? If your product’s new look stands apart from its competitors you may have a registrable industrial design on your hands! Learn what you can register as an industrial design and how. Your business can gain a marketing advantage by using your protected industrial design. So be creative—get your designs out there for others to enjoy!
A special note: if you attend this session and wish to discuss particulars of a design you are working on, do NOT disclose any specifics during the open session—you’ll learn why during the seminar!
This workshop is delivered in partnership with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) and offers an overview of intellectual property and patent rights by professionals in the field (lawyers and patent officers with GGD).
