Intellectual Property Seminars
IP webinars
Turning research outcomes into new businesses, products, and services is one of the primary ways in which the University of Glasgow delivers meaningful social, economic, and environmental impact beyond academia.
IP is critical to this activity – many potential industrial partners and investors will only collaborate or provide funding with appropriate IP protection in place. This means IP is of enormous and growing importance for generating impact.
Last year we held a series of talks giving an overview of IP in different technology domains. This new series focuses on the practical skills of managing IP.
These talks will be led by highly experienced patent attorneys from Mewburn Ellis. Ample time will be devoted to questions and discussion.
Talks are open to all members of the University community, but people who have not previously contacted the IP & Innovation Team are especially welcome.
To learn more about IP, watch recordings of previous IP talks or sign up to upcoming webinars.
