Understanding
Intellectual Property and Copyright
7 June 2017, 12-2pm
Venue TBC
In the digital age the question of intellectual capital has
becoming increasingly complex. Trying to identify the ‘originator’ of an idea
or theory is difficult enough, but is made more complicated still if that idea
or theory leads to financial benefit. Fortunately, here at Kent we have two
expert guides who can lead us through this confusing and sometimes hostile
terrain. Lucy Druesne is the Deputy Director of Kent Innovation and
Enterprise, which works with external organisations to share expertise and
develop new ideas and technologies. She has helped a range of academics across
Kent to understand and make the most of their intellectual property for impact.
Chris
Morrison, on the other hand, is the University’s Copyright and Licencing
Compliance Officer, supporting and advising staff and students on protecting
their own copyright, but also not infringing that of other people.
Together they will help to demystify the subject, and
provide practical and simple advice to those trying to navigate this new world.
The session is intended to be informal and interactive, so if you have specific
questions do bring them along. As ever it’s free and open to all, and a light
lunch will be provided. However, do let me know if you intend to come so that I
can make sure both room and catering are appropriate.
