Ask an Expert Protecting your idea

Tuesday, 17th January 2012

It is important that individuals and small businesses developing innovative products can protect themselves from copyists and imitators. Intellectual property rights, such as patents, trade marks and registered designs, can provide this protection. This session provides advice on the intellectual property rights that will best protect your idea or business and how to obtain them.

ideas21 member, Lewis Hands, principal attorney at Handsome IP Ltd, has kindly offered his services in running these sessions for us at the Bristol Central Library.

Lewis is a registered European Patent Attorney, a Chartered UK Patent Attorney and a European Trade Mark and Design Attorney. He is a member of the Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office and a member of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys.

These free 40 minute advice sessions are to support today’s inventors.  Complete and submit the form below and a member of ideas21 will respond by email to confirm availability and a suitable time for your appointment.
