Designing For Success

Seminar overview

We all know that fresh ideas come from fresh brains, which is why there seems to be a flood of hot new talent under 35. We’ve all heard about how ‘so and so’ designed a ‘something or other’ that was ripped off by another company - which is why you need to protect your new design ideas early.

As a design student or a new design business you will need to equip yourself with the right solutions to protect your designs.

What you will learn

• The different types of intellectual property (IP) that are available to protect your designs

• The best solutions for protecting your designs
• Resources available
