Safeguarding Intellectual Property and Confidential Information by David Roath, LLP Partner, Employment, Paris Smith LLP and Kim Walker, LLP Partner, Intellectual Property and Technology, Paris Smith LLP

Intellectual Property and Confidential Information are amongst a business' most valuable assets.  It is important to safeguard the ownership of intellectual property and the use of confidential information by employees and consultants, particularly when they are engaged on cutting edge innovative projects.  Embarking on collaborative projects may require additions to your workforce.  This is an opportunity to review, and if necessary update, the terms of employment and consultancy/ sub-contract agreements used so that they reflect best practice and give your business the necessary protection for its confidential information.  Find out how the law treats ownership of developed intellectual property rights and provides compensation for employee inventors using incentive agreements.

Experts in employment and intellectual property law will highlight the key issues.
