‘Anna presented at our Academia-Industry networking event and it was a great presentation. Really clear explanation of the problems around protecting your IP, especially if you haven’t properly considered the issue. It is easy to see protecting IP as too complicated or too expensive. Anna explained why you need to do it (don’t ignore it or think it will never become a problem) and gave practical advice that businesses could understand and showed how advice can be affordable to all businesses including sole traders.’
