VentureX HQ & IP Australia: Leveraging IP Throughout the Business Journey

For many startups and entrepreneurs, good Intellectual Property (IP) means being able to compete with and stay ahead of larger corporations. Registered IP such as patents for inventions, trademarks for brands, designs for the way a product looks and feels or colours it uses or is known for, is a source of market power. So, how do we make sure we stay ahead, access the right tools and support, and be protected?

Proudly supported by the Department of Jobs,Tourism, Science and Innovation New Industries Fund WA, VentureX HQ is delighted to present this event with special guest flying in from Canberra, Michael Schwager, Director General of IP Australia on Tuesday, 25 October from 7:30am to 9:15am. IP Australia is currently offering multiple avenues to assist businesses across Australia, these include research into how the IP system can better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, an SME IP Portal to support smaller businesses through a range of tailored resources, and a Small Businesses Upskill educational program.
