Intellectual Property isn't relevant to me!


Although a lot of business people have heard of IP, it is very common for them to misunderstand which type of IP is needed for different things, and to not realise how IP works in everyday business and creativity - let alone how much it already impacts them or their business ventures.

IP is instrumental in protecting what you do, and you will understand just how easy it is for your work to be copied, stolen or mistreated. Your knowledge of IP will help you be prepared to see potential issues in advance and know what to do to deal with them. Like insurance, your knowledge of IP is only really seen as vital if things go wrong. Get smart in advance and maximise your entrepreneurial and business potential.

Jiri Svorc's Legal Review

Qualified Solicitor SRA Regulated

The “Beginner’s Guide to Intellectual Property for Entrepreneurs and Business Owners” is an extensive course covering the basics of various types of intellectual property rights and demonstrating the significance of effective protection and enforcement of IP of any business. It does so by reference to a number of use cases and practical examples. Entrepreneurs and business owners will benefit from efficient key take-aways summaries at the end of each section. In addition, the course walks the audience through the various IPO registration processes and offers valuable tips and practical commentary. The course is simply much more than a “beginner’s guide”, if you are an entrepreneur or a business owner, the course will show you why the protection of your IP should absolutely be “your business”.

Lindsay's Testimonial

Working in a family business

I have recently undertaken the Beginners Guide to Intellectual Property for Entrepreneurs and Business Owners course and Anna’s personality of integrity and honesty is very apparent. The course is very well presented and thoughtfully put together. It is easy to watch, pause and continue. I didn’t know what to expect but found it easy to follow and understand and dare I say relaxing to watch, with short, bite sized videos. The course is a great introduction to prepare you to talk to a solicitor or go the D-I-Y route.
