What is Innovation IP®?

Innovation IP® is a program funded by Callaghan Innovation which supports James & Wells to kick-start your businesses’ intellectual property (IP) strategy. The goal is to give you the knowledge, capability and confidence to leverage intellectual assets to enable growth and reduce risk.

How will Innovation IP® help you?

It will show you how to:

• manage risk;
• develop and implement systems to avoid losing valuable IP;
• learn how to identify important IP assets and the right tools to protect those; and
• discover how to leverage IP value for faster growth and contractual arrangements.

Who is Innovation IP® for?

Innovation IP® is designed for businesses of any size that are:

• generating valuable IP;
• investing in R&D and eager to maximise the value of their IP;
• wanting to understand their freedom to commercialise innovation and how to avoid risk of infringement;
• developing or refining a business strategy, or looking to accelerate growth;
• working with multiple parties in joint ventures; and
• are current or emerging exporters.
