IP Training Service | Mathys & Squire

Intellectual property is often treated as a specialist legal topic, but many of the most important IP decisions are made before lawyers are involved.

Engineers disclose inventions, commercial teams discuss collaborations, marketing teams create brands, developers use third-party code, and founders negotiate with customers, investors and partners.

Our IP training service helps businesses build practical IP awareness across the organisation, so that teams can identify valuable assets, avoid common risks and make better decisions at the right time.

Training can be tailored for leadership teams, technical teams, legal and commercial teams, product teams, finance teams, marketing teams, founders, investors and operational staff.

Practical training, not legal theory.

Effective IP training should not be an abstract explanation of patents, trade marks, copyright and designs. It should help people understand what IP means in their role, what risks they need to recognise, and when they should escalate an issue.

Example training modules include:

lP essentials for leadership teams;
invention spotting for technical teams;
trade secrets and confidentiality;
software, open source and data risks;
IP in commercial contracts;
IP for marketing and brand teams;
IP awareness for sales and business development teams;
preparing for investment or due diligence.

The training can be provided in a variety of way, including:

interactive workshops;
board briefings;
team-specific sessions;
lunch-and-learn sessions;
online training;
tailored training materials;
follow-up Q&A.
