2025 Chamber College - Protect Your Assets: An IP Primer

Do you know whether you have Intellectual Property rights – and if so, how to protect them?

For many businesses, large and small, new or established, their “Intellectual Property” (IP) is one of their most valuable assets. Yet many business owners don’t realize that they have IP rights, their value, or how they can protect that value. But if your business has, for example, a recipe, a logo, a website, or any marketing material, you likely have IP rights.

Join McInnes Cooper Intellectual Property Lawyer Patrick Kerr to learn about the five main Intellectual Property rights (trademark, copyright, trade secrets, industrial design and patent), how each is created, and how to maintain your rights in them.
