just in time for the Easter holidays.
Oscar® winning characters Wallace & Gromit are at the heart
of the exhibition which appeals to all ages by showcasing
how innovation contributes to everyday life. The exhibition
also looks at how people can protect their ideas using
intellectual property such as trade marks and patents.
A
World of Cracking Ideas has something for the whole family.
Every age-group from babies to grand-parents will find many
things to enjoy. Under 5’s can visit the Vegetable Patch, an
interactive soft play area and older visitors can take a
nostalgic walk down memory lane by watching television
adverts from the 1950s onwards. The aim of the
exhibition is to inspire visitors to be innovative and
creative.

Licensing Executives Society (Britain & Ireland)
venue: Cranfield Management Development Centre,
Cranfield University, Cranfield, Beds, MK43 0AL
This repeat of a successful course
provides a mix of comprehensive and complementary lectures
and interactive exercises covering the basics of
Intellectual Property and Licensing, setting up a Business
Framework for Licensing and conducting and living with a
Licensing Deal (including strategy for IP management and the
tools to manage IP).
The course starts with an introduction to
the types of IP including trade secrets, patents, trade
marks, copyright and design rights. This is followed by an
introduction to the basics of licensing including exercises
and a review of the important clauses of a licence.
There is then a review of the high-level business processes
for Intellectual Asset Management and the relation of
licensing to corporate strategy.
You will learn how to guide and manage
components of the high level process to create deal
opportunities and sustainable deal flow as well as how to
manage your IP cost-effectively over time. You will
also learn how to identify and apply valuation approaches
and recognise and practice elements of successful
negotiation using an extensive licence negotiation exercise
based on case study materials from earlier sessions.
Lastly, you will learn what happens after the deal is made
and how to construct and deliver a strategy for
IP management.
