To most people, IP seems to be the territory of lawyers and attorneys, but nothing could be further from the truth. Intellectual property is all about creativity. Whether you are an artist, a film maker, designer, writer, game developer or potter, you own IP.
The course explores how the ideas at the core your business can be used as a catalyst for growth. It features a series of talks, led by creative sector innovation and growth expert Erica Wolfe-Murray and workshops for participants to learn the art of managing your IP in a way that is creatively and commercially impactful.
Selected founders will also have the opportunity to take advantage of further support through bespoke mentoring from course leaders.
