OrbisEnergy in association with Lovewell Blake, one of the region’s leading accountants, business advisers and financial planners, are running a series of business skills advice seminars tailored to the energy sector, and delivered by specialists with inside knowledge to help you take your business further.

Whether your goal is growth through marketing or increasing efficiency in resourcing, our series covers a wealth of subjects to help you drive your business forward.

Business skills will give you tips and advice from industry experts, spread across a series of seminars, each focussing on a different theme.

This event focuses on Intellectual Property with guest speaker Richard Jones, Business Relationship Manager for ip21 Ltd.

Richard will be presenting some considerations on how the Intellectual Property systems can be used by Energy sector companies to achieve their objectives, whether that be through developing innovation, generating revenue or saving money. Specifically:

• How to identify IP Assets, and assess their potential value to the business.
• How to prioritise IP spend on value-adding Rights that cannot be protected retrospectively.
• How to identify useful shortcuts and opportunities where costs can be delayed or avoided.
• How to exploit the government incentives for registering IP Rights through schemes such as R&D Tax Credits, Patent Box and Grant Funding.

The events will include a breakfast, along with the opportunity to network with like-minded industry professionals.
