Understanding Intellectual Property (IP)

A short interactive workshop helping founders understand what IP is and the steps needed to protect it.

Delivered by EnSpire Oxford and Oxford University Innovation.  

Programme Overview

If you're turning an idea into something real, you need to know who owns it. This online workshop explains what intellectual property (IP) is, how the University's IP policy works, and what to do if you think you've created something protectable.

Real case studies show how the policy applies in practice. In the second half, you can put your own questions to experts from Oxford University Innovation and get the official University answer.
