If you’re running a Physics-based start-up or spin-out or are a Physics-based entrepreneur, join this live webinar to ask patent attorneys Parminder Lally and Richard Bray (of Appleyard Lees) any questions about how to develop, protect and commercialise your innovations in the Deep Tech and Artificial Intelligence spaces. Knowing how best to protect innovations in newly-emerging and fast-developing fields can be difficult, particularly as the law lags behind technological advances. In this webinar, Parminder and Richard will cover the A to Z of intellectual property, from whether AI-based innovations can be patented, to protecting and commercialising training data, to knowing when the right time is to protect quantum-based research.

Protecting IP is important for start-ups who want to get the maximum benefit from their inventions when their inventions hit the market. Whether your query is about the right sort of IP protection for your start-up business, whether software inventions are patentable, or what you can do to improve the position of your start-up in the market of the future, Parminder and Richard will be on-hand to help!

This one-hour webinar will have an introductory presentation from Parminder and Richard, providing an overview and addressing questions submitted in advance, before an open Q&A slot and wrap-up with information about support from IOP.
