Better Boards is pleased to present "A Director's Guide to Intellectual Property" in partnership with Fabiola Dos Santos and Kristy McCamley, Patents & Intellectual Property experts at FAL Lawyers.

Does your board and executive know how to identify and protect the organisation’s Intellectual Property?

While it is relatively easy to identify and understand the physical assets of an organisation, unless your board and executive are familiar with identifying and understanding the intangible assets associated with the organisation’s day-to-day activities, potential opportunities and pitfalls for the organisation may be overlooked.

Intangible assets such as Intellectual Property have value – and not just monetary value. Intellectual Property has reputational and goodwill value, collaborative value and commercialisation potential. Your organisation’s Intellectual Property is what differentiates it from other organisations.

Your organisation’s Intellectual Property is a valuable asset and it is critical that your board and chief executive understand how to protect and leverage it.

This practical webinar will cover:

  • Why it’s important for the board & executive to be familiar with Intellectual Property
  • The different types and forms of Intellectual Property
  • How to identity your organisation’s Intellectual Property
  • How your organisation can capture value from its Intellectual Property and intangible assets
  • This webinar will include the opportunity to ask both Fabiola and Kristy questions.

Attend this webinar if you, your board and executive want to understand, in a practical sense, what you can do to familiarise yourself with identifying your organisation’s intangible Intellectual Property assets and why you should bother to do so.
