Jiri Svorc's Legal Review

Qualified Solicitor SRA Regulated

The “Beginner’s Guide to Intellectual Property for Designers and Artists” is one of the most extensive courses in Anna’s series of IP courses and it goes far beyond a generic overview of intellectual property. It maps this wide and complex area by setting out the various different types of intellectual property, giving plenty of examples from everyday life and providing clear guidance on the most appropriate form of protection for one's IP. Each section is supplemented by a summary of the key take-aways. In addition, the course walks the audience through the various IPO registration processes and offers valuable tips and practical commentary. Whilst it is absolutely suitable creatives unfamiliar with IP, the course is simply much more than a “beginner’s guide”.

Daniel's Testimony

Videographer and Photographer

I've had an amazing experience with this course. IP is really a tricky subject yet a really important one for us creative people and this course is a very beautifully crafted learning tool. Although the content is a bit complex, it has been presented in a light yet thoroughly engaging manner. I particularly enjoyed the structure and the visual aids, not relying so much on text.

Charlotte's Testimony

Textile and Interior Designer

The Beginners Guide to Intellectual Property for Artists and Designer is such a time and money saving resource! I will return to it again and again. I recommend it as a valuable investment that will save you so much hassle and money. As a designer of unique acoustic finishes for interior spaces, this course has been super helpful to obtain a comprehensive overview regarding Intellectual Property - an essential for each creative designer. The thing I found most helpful was the demystification of a very complex subject. I now know where to go and what to do with regard to current design work, and even more importantly how to plan future design ideas. Thank you Anna for this insightful resource for the creative community. I recommend it wholeheartedly and encourage each to check it out for yourself.
