Abstract
Protection of intellectual property (IP) is important to industry, as it allows companies to formally protect their products and their identity. IP is also inherent to many research programs at universities, where IP generated may be licensable to companies for the protection of future products. In this presentation, I will outline the different types of IP and the steps required to protect them. In particular, I will cover inventions that may be patentable and the requirements for patenting. The importance of IP to universities will also be discussed.
