LOOKING OUT FOR BUSINESS;
An introduction to Intellectual Property (IP) Management Plans for Indigenous Enterprise

Indigenous Intellectual Property specialist, Ms Terri Janke, presents half-day workshops.

Much of the growth in the Australian business sector has been due to the increasing importance of Intellectual Property (IP) assets.  However, while more and more business owners are becoming more concerned about their IP rights, a substantial number of Indigenous businesses are not taking full strategic advantage of their IP assets to establish competitive advantage, protect cultural integrity and increase corporate profits.

Who should attend?   You should attend if you manage a private business, land council or Indigenous enterprise. Or if you are a lawyer, in business or you are responsible for managing Intellectual Property assets.

Why you should attend? Intellectual Property is an asset, not unlike real estate.  It’s your property and is valuable for your economic future. But how are you managing it? What plans can you take to protect your ideas and know-how with copyright, trade marks and designs? To create a plan, an Intellectual Property (IP) Management Plan is more than just a pre-cautionary measure, it’s to clarify the present with a vision to the future. 

What you get?   An afternoon with one of Australia’s leading Indigenous Intellectual Property specialists, afternoon tea, practical advice, networking opportunities and course materials.

Cost   By arrangement.
