Intellectual Property Licensing & Franchising: Creating it, Protecting it and Making money from it
by Samuel Seow
Intellectual property (“IP”) refers to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind over which property rights are recognised. The Course will focus on the laws relating to copyrights; trade marks and service marks; patents; registered design rights; and trade secrets and with the legal issues relating to and arising from the creation, development, transfer and exploitation of IP works through licensing and franchising.
Why You Should Attend This Course
Attendees will be introduced to IP laws in Singapore and worldwide, and how the different IP rights are created; protected; and exploited, especially through the systems of licensing and franchising. The different IP rights will be explained and their differences clarified. Some IP rights only arise when legal formalities are completed. The Course will also cover the legal requirements for securing protection and, will also discuss remedies available to IP owners when cases of infringement arise. The Course will, finally, touch on the fundamentals of licensing and franchising.
