Webinar – Enterprise series: How smart IP management drives innovation and unlocks government incentives

Innovation is enhanced when it is protected and rewarded. Many companies create valuable intellectual property (IP) but do not safeguard it properly or fail to realise that government incentives are available to make innovation more affordable. Whether developing software or algorithms, designing new products or improving upon existing technology, aligning effective IP management with the preparation of innovation incentive claims can efficiently safeguard and enhance the return on your investments.

Join Venner Shipley, a leading full-service European intellectual property firm, and the Moore Kingston Smith R&D team as they demystify IP strategy and discuss the government incentives available, helping companies to reduce risk, drive growth, and create long-term value.

The panel will explain the core elements of effective IP management, how to protect your innovation and highlight its value, providing practical guidance on how to align IP and R&D activities to unlock incentives such as R&D tax relief and the Patent Box.

They will discuss:

• why IP management matters for growing businesses;

• key IP types, what is protectable and essential policy considerations;

• how to link R&D activity with IP to strengthen your innovation pipeline;

• overview of R&D tax relief and the Patent Box, including benefits and best practices;

• practical steps, tools and timing considerations for managing IP effectively.
