Raise Your Game - John Buckby ‘How to protect your brand – Trademarks and trade names’

Every Monday, start your week on an up

Event date: Monday, 06/02/2012 - 17:30 to 19:00

This is the first of a series of four talks on intellectual property rights, by East Midlands specialist IP lawyer, John Buckby. In this talk, John will focus on trade marks. He will explain what rights exist in a name or brand, a domain name or a company name - and how you can protect those rights. After the talk, there will be a Q&A for your own questions.

Over the next few months, John will address the other main areas of intellectual property, covering copyright, design rights, and patents.

Raise Your Game is a programme of events designed to drive business success. Give us one hour of your time after work on a Monday, and we’ll give you access to a treasure trove of talent, expertise, know-how and wisdom. Covering topics including PR, business ethics, social media, contracts and business modelling, you’ll learn the tricks that help successful businesses thrive, how to avoid the pitfalls others have already experienced, and you’ll extend your networks by meeting like-minded people.

And did we mention it’s absolutely free?
