In the tech industry, IP is vital for SMEs to protect and commercialise their innovations. Securing IP can make an SME more attractive for raising investment and enable significant growth for the business. However, the threat of software copyright infringement is more real than ever. Companies invest time, resources, and expertise into creating unique software, only for it to be potentially duplicated or exploited by others.
Join us for this SME Online Forum with Vaultinum as they walkthrough the common IP infringement within the tech sector and discuss how to avoid misusing open-source software (OSS) and mitigating risks to reduce business exposure.
The session will cover the specificity of software IP, IP strategy, importance and solid steps to avoid a contaminating licence hindering your technology growth.
