What is IP? What isn’t? And when does it actually matter for your business?

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be protecting an idea, a product, a name, or something you’ve built join us for a practical introduction to intellectual property with Jane Pairman. An experienced IP lawyer who specialises in helping businesses understand what’s worth protecting, what isn’t, and how to approach IP without overcomplicating it.

This session will cover:

• What intellectual property actually is (and what it’s not)

• The different types of IP you might encounter in business

• When it makes sense to register IP — and when it doesn’t

• The basics of how IP registration works in practice

Jane brings a commercial, no-nonsense approach to IP. She focuses on understanding how a business operates before offering advice, so founders and business owners can make informed, practical decisions — not expensive ones they don’t need.
