Intellectual Property (IP) is an asset generated every day by almost everyone. For those in the creative field, IP is their life-blood, their most valuable asset. And for creators who make a living out of their creativity, IP protection becomes an important factor when they seek to maximise the full commercial values of their works.

Whether you are a creative professional or aspiring to be one, understanding the fundamentals of IP is the first step to protecting your valuable asset. And as you take your work to market, the need to protect your asset becomes greater. How do you ensure that you keep what is yours and be suitably rewarded for your creativity? These common but critical considerations are often overlooked until the unforeseen surfaces – when your IP has been infringed!

Join us at this seminar to familiarise yourself with the essentials of copyright and some of the IP issues that you should take note of when you take your work to market. The seminar will also provide a lively and interactive platform where speakers from various creative industries will share their success stories in marrying IP and their creative works. They will provide practical tips on best practices in harnessing the full commercial value of your works.

Take steps to lock your IP. Don’t wait till you are robbed of it!
