Today at our Science for Lunch, we explored the boundaries between various types of Intellectual Property Rights (IP), strategies for developing and safeguarding high-quality IP, and approaches to avoiding litigation – all while prioritizing cost-effectiveness and targeting relevant markets. Throughout the discussion, the focus remained on understanding the nuances of IP and its practical applications.
The discussion yielded three key takeaways:
1. Understanding what aspects can be protected through design.
2. Recognizing the effectiveness of design as a tool against competitors.
3. Reflecting on the broader scope of IP beyond patents, trademarks, and designs, and considering the boundaries within this realm.
