Collaborative projects bring huge opportunities, but they also bring complex questions: Who owns the results? What can each partner actually use? And what are the funder’s expectations? Left unanswered, intellectual property (IP) issues can quickly stall even the most exciting partnerships and put your funding at risk.
Navigating these challenges early is critical to protecting your innovations and securing grant success.
To help you stay ahead, Secerna has partnered with UKUAT to host a free live webinar dedicated to the role of IP in grant and funding applications. Presented by Secerna Patent Attorney Dr Huw Jenkins, this session will walk you through the essential steps to safeguard your trade mark and patent assets while keeping your collaboration moving forward.
