Liam Birkett - Intellectual Property made Easy (Really!)

October 17, 2022 • Tipperary Local Enterprise Office & TBF Digital Marketing Agency • Season 1 • Episode 24

Did you know you could be sitting on a goldmine within your business in the form of unregistered Intellectual Property? It’s not as hard as you think to register IP (yes, really).

In this episode Aisling talks to the IP and brand master that is Liam Birkett. Liam has had a vast career in Intellectual Property, design, marketing, sales and P R. His company was responsible for the corporate identities, product and brand creation plus marketing initiatives for both blue chip companies and SMEs in Ireland and internationally. Liam is a consultant expert to the European Commission Framework Programme and a past president and Fellow of the Institute of Designers in Ireland.

Learn about the different mechanisms for IP registration, what sort of ideas qualify and how to turn the whole thing into a brand story and PR exercise.
