The longer the uncertainty around Brexit continues, the shorter the timeframe for businesses to prepare effectively for the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. With 29 March 2019 fast approaching, what should IP professionals be doing to minimise business risk and put themselves in the best position to manage their IP portfolios?
In this webinar, you will learn the current status of Brexit negotiations and the plans that have been put in place for the cloning of IP rights (including in a ‘no-deal’ scenario). You will also understand the IP issues that are still to be addressed and their implications for rights holders.
Why sign up?
Our Novagraaf experts, Claire Jones and Eric Siecker will offer guidance on preparing and planning for these changes, including approaches and strategies to protect and maximise your valuable trademark, design and patent assets.
This webinar will be ideal for anyone engaged in the oversight – both administrative and strategic – of IP portfolios.
