Free Intellectual Property Events

Posted 05/08/2006 by jaimes

Intellectual property is one of those odd issues which seem incredibly boring, yet touch so many aspects of our lives that we don’t seem able to ignore them.

In this age of file-sharing and open source, you’d be forgiven for thinking that everything was swinging towards an open model along the lines of the creative commons. Yet the barrage of assaults by the corporate sector on IP law threatens to stifle the very innovation which it claims to be seeking protection for.

Beyond simple rejections of corporatist agendas, many small companies are forced to face the realities of IP law in their day to day business, either as users of IP regulated commodities, or as producers themselves.

As a collaboration between Creative London and the London College of Communication, Own It is a IP advice service offering free IP related events in the London area.
