Slingsby Partners IP events in Cambridge

Slingsby Partners is bringing its IP expertise to St John’s Innovation Centre in Cambridge on 4th July 2014 with two free events:

●  an intellectual property talk for start-ups and SMEs; and

●  a patent advice clinic.

Practical Intellectual Property: Protecting Ideas and Securing Investment

At 2pm, our talk will offer practical, clear advice on how to secure intellectual property, how to best make use of intellectual property, and how to address many of the legal issues encountered by technology companies. The talk is open to all: whether you are part of an established business, or just taking your first steps to establish a new enterprise.

Topics covered will include:

●  Protecting your technology with patents, designs and copyright.

●  How to protect software and web applications.

●  IP as an asset: using IP to attract investment and survive due diligence.

●  Collaborating with others whilst retaining control of your technology.

●  Managing patent threats: how to satisfy your investors.

●  Tax relief under the Patent Box.

Patent Advice Clinic

Throughout the day our patent attorneys will be available to discuss your IP questions and issues in in a free half-hour or hour-long meeting. Each meeting provides an opportunity to receive pragmatic and commercially-minded advice from our team of patent attorneys on any aspect of intellectual property.

We have particular expertise working with start-ups and SMEs to:

●  secure protection for their intellectual property;

●  manage third party patent risks;

●  maximise the value of their IP to help attract investment;

●  support those companies through due diligence;

●  advise on IP ownership and how to structure development agreements;

●  obtain tax relief through the Patent Box.
