Join the Canadian Business Council (CBC) Abu Dhabi for a live webinar in collaboration with AVID Intellectual Property. Intellectual Property (IP) is arguably one of the most important aspects that lead to a company’s success. Having a good understanding of IP and taking the proper steps to protect your company’s IP will help give a company a better chance in succeeding. All businesses have IP, which should be protected, it may be a trademark, copyright, patent, industrial design and more. Imagine where Apple would be if it did not file for any patents or McDonalds if they did not register or protected their trademark.

The session will help the audience understand:

  • What intellectual property is.
  • Types of intellectual property.
  • The importance of intellectual property protection for a business enterprise.
  • Defending a company’s IP rights and avoiding infringement against other company’s rights.
  • The added value of protecting your intellectual property.
