Human creativity continues to shape the world we live in.
Just like how a successful product may be lauded for its new technology, a novel design generates great value for business. As such, different types of creations, ideas or designs are regulated by various intellectual property (IP) laws that impact the way we create.
In this webinar, we will share our insight on key IP considerations that emerging designers and freelancers should take note of. We will also touch on important aspects such as design registration, ownership, copyright issues and licensing.
Join us and find out more about how you can secure a complimentary one-to-one preliminary consultation with Ella Cheong LLC’s team of professionals today!
