SUMMARY:Trade Marks\, Copyright and Designs - LifeScience Academy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As part of the LifeScience Academy Autumn training workshops\, leading patent and trade mark attorneys Abel & Imray host this workshop on trade marks\, copyright and designs. \nOverview \nTrade marks are valuable assets irrespective of the size of a business yet the importance of trade marks and the benefits of obtaining registered trade mark protection are often overlooked. The workshop will focus on the basics of trade mark law and the issues which matter in practice\, and has been designed to provide companies with the knowledge required to develop and implement an effective trade mark strategy. Key areas for discussion include: \n\nWhat is a trade mark?\nThe value of trade marks\nHow are rights in a trade mark established?\nDo you really need to register your trade mark\nConsiderations when creating or selecting a trade mark\nThe importance of clearance searches using your trade marks\n\nThe workshop will also provide an overview of copyright and design rights\, and discuss the interaction between trade marks and these other forms of Intellectual Property.

SUMMARY:How to Write Competitive and Successful Funding Applications - LifeScience Academy Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is delivered by two experienced and successful proposal writers\, Peter Quantick and Dayne Hodgson from RedKnight. Peter and Dayne have extensive hands-on experience in the development\, management and delivery of UK based and EC funded projects. They are also project and programme evaluators for external organisations such as the European Commission which gives them a unique insight into the success indicators of proposals. \nOver the last 15 years\, the RedKnight team has helped businesses\, Universities and other organisations to source over £20 million of research and innovation income. \nThis workshop will: \n\nIntroduce the principles of writing funding applications using RedKnight’s 15 step proposal planner approach\nMake delegates aware of the various funding programmes available to companies to support research and innovation as well as the similarities and differences between the programmes\nShow how the proposal planner maps onto the major funding streams to facilitate proposal writing\nAllow attendees to leave at the end of the day with an application outline which can be further developed and submitted to the next cut-off date of their chosen funding programme\nProvide an opportunity for discussion and interaction as well as time for “funding surgeries” at the end of the event\n\nTestimonials \n‘“It was our best funding training so far. Clear\, efficient and full of detailed information\, as well as sharing experiences” \n“The workshop was very useful. This was the best training I have ever experienced.” \n“We had already submitted our project 3 times to SME Instrument before. In the Masterclass I heard some helpful tips that our team used in the revision we made for our 4th submission and finally this time we reached the goal: Approval!” \nThis workshop costs £195 + VAT for MediWales members and £250 + VAT for non-members. \nPlease get in touch with Isabelle if there are any questions or to register your attendance.

SUMMARY:LifeScience Academy Workshop: Innovation Leads - The Essential Guide to an Effective Patent Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Innovation Leads – The Essential Guide to an Effective Patent Strategy \nWhat you need to know in an innovative organisation.\nIn co-operation with European Patent Attorneys from award winning Abel & Imray\, Cardiff. \nIntellectual property is of vital importance to the life science industry\, and so developing an effective patents strategy is essential to the success of innovating companies in this field. This workshop has been designed to provide organisations in the life sciences\, biotech and medical technology fields\, with the knowledge and practical skills so that\, working together with their patent attorneys\, they can implement a successful patents strategy to enable them to exploit the value of the advances that they have made. \nWho should attend? \nThe workshop will be of interest to those working in the life science field\, in particular those working in R&D\, within business development\, or people working in the legal function. Expected participants include those working for university and NHS tech transfer organisations and start-up companies. \nWorkshop outline \nThis workshop will provide participants with a practical understanding of a range of key patent issues affecting innovative companies\, and help them avoid common IP problems. The workshop includes practical group exercises and case studies to emphasise key points. \nMorning session: Ingredients for creating a successful patent portfolio \nStarting out – What are patents\, and what they can do for you; fundamentals of patentability – novelty and inventive step; patentability vs. freedom to operate (FTO); overview of the patents system; when and whether to file; impact of publication on opportunities for patenting; getting ownership right and why it matters. \nWhat needs to go into a patent specification – Anatomy of a patent specification; what do patent claims mean\, considerations when deciding the scope of the claims; the role of examples/data in supporting an invention. \nPatent opportunities in the life sciences/pharmaceutical/biotech/medical device fields – What a patent might be available for (new chemical entities; new therapeutic uses; gene patents\, antibodies and diagnostic tests; medical devices; pharmaceutical forms and compositions). \nExercise: Identifying inventions and selecting opportunities for filing – Participants will work in groups considering a number of research projects and selecting which to file a patent application on\, taking into account factors such as commercial importance\, ease of enforceability\, invention strength and ownership/inventorship issues. \nAfternoon session: Using your patent portfolio effectively \nFreedom to operate – When to carry out freedom to operate (FTO) studies; practical aspects of FTO studies; options for dealing with a FTO issue. \nExploitation of Patent Rights – Using your patents; selling and licensing patents; patent information packages for negotiations with licensing partners; confidentiality and privilege. \nExercise: Evaluating patent licensing opportunities – Participants will work in groups evaluating opportunities to license in a patent portfolio covering a pharmaceutical product\, taking into account factors such as freedom to operate\, patent portfolio strength and opportunities for improving patent position\, putting into practice the knowledge they have gained throughout the day. \nTutors \nTutors Julia Coggins\, Simon Haslam and Tim Hewson\, European Patent Attorneys from Abel & Imray\, Cardiff\, have brought together their knowledge of life sciences patenting to devise this workshop. They have extensive experience of advising university tech transfer organisations\, start-ups and other research companies on patent matters. \nParticipation fee \nThe registration fee is £150 +VAT for members\, £225 +VAT for non-members.  The fee includes refreshments\, lunch\, documentation and a certificate of participation confirming 6 hours of CPD undertaken. \nSpaces are limited so that individual attention may be given in the exercises\, but if the course is over-subscribed we would seek to run it again. \nContact Isabelle to reserve your place
