Event Description:

Trade fairs provide intellectual property (IP) owners with the opportunity to present their innovations and ideas to potential business partners and customers and they allow them to learn from and collaborate with other innovators. There is, however, a risk, in that disclosing your innovations to the public leaves you exposed to third parties copying and infringing on your IP. The Expert’s presentation will highlight measures European SMEs should take regarding the protection of their Intellectual Property Rights before, during and after trade fairs in Southeast Asia. Primarily the focus will be on the IP issues most relevant to European SMEs, including but not limited to:

• Preparing for the trade fair in advance

• What measures to take whilst participating in trade fairs

• Taking action against an infringer at a trade fair

• Top tips to watch out for whilst participating in trade fairs in Southeast Asia.
