Greg and Laura will talk through some scenarios where IP issues may pop up in your day-to-day practice – including patent, trade mark, copyright, confidential information and other IP.
This session will help you identify when you might face an issue with an IP angle, what the relevant law and principles that apply are, and how you might navigate these IP issues.
Scenarios that they will cover include where IP issues might arise in:
- disputes about sale & purchase of a business
- employment agreements and disputes
- relationship property agreements, division and disputes
- distribution and franchise agreements
- competition law considerations

- Recognise common intellectual property issues encountered in legal practice.
- Recognise how IP principles might apply to commercial, employment, relationship property, and franchise/distribution scenarios.
