Intellectual Property in Research

We are delighted to invite the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and Vitae to the University to deliver an online seminar about Intellectual Property in Research.

Register for this event here.

This event has limited places so will operate on a first come first serve basis.

This seminar will:

• explore the different types of intellectual property (IP) you could be creating as a researcher
• help you make informed decisions on use of any IP generated
• understand when and how to speak to an IP expert at your university
• highlight the potential opportunities to maximise the impact of research
• recognise when and how others’ IP can and should be respected

This webinar will include the following elements:

• an introduction to IP, the IPO and why IP is important
• a discussion of the main IP Rights (copyright, patents, design and trade marks)
• the University’s approach to IP, the role of the Knowledge Transfer Centre (KTC) and their support for research projects.

This event is being organised by the Knowledge Transfer Centre, a team consisting of Business Relationships Managers, the newly appointed IP and Licencing Manager (Research) and additional support to assist collaboration between UoR and non-academic partners.

Any questions about this event or the work of the KTC, please email ktc@reading.ac.uk.
