Lunch and Learn: IP Awareness

You provide your lunch and the Entrepreneurship Centre will provide an inspiring and engaging series of online masterclasses, exploring key topics for anyone interested in getting an idea out into the world.

Join us for this month's Lunch and Learn delivered by Christian Ziar, Head of Technology Transfer at St Andrews. He was previously Head of IP and, prior to St Andrews, spent ten years at a firm of IP attorneys and three years working for ARM, a semiconductor licensing company. His passion lies in supporting groundbreaking research and shaping that into impactful outcomes.

In this session, Christian will cover:

• the basic concept of IP and its various forms, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets
• understanding the right to stop others versus the right to use
• how IP can generate revenue through licensing, sales, and partnerships
• why protecting IP can be crucial for everyone from startups to universities to multinationals

The session will run for around 45 minutes with time for discussion and questions and answers (Q&A).
