Intellectual Property 101: What does IP mean for Health Care Providers? Online

Please note: This event will use Microsoft Teams

Patents! Copyright! Trademarks! Oh my! Have you ever wondered what impact intellectual property has on health care? Do you have a great idea that you think might help patients and you want to know how to protect it? These and many more questions will be answered in this interactive presentation led by the Nova Scotia Health Innovation Hub. As Nova Scotia Health moves to launch a refreshed Intellectual Property Policy, now is the time to learn more.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the session, you will:

Understand what intellectual property (IP) is, the various types of idea protection, and why they are important.
Understand how the Nova Scotia Health Intellectual Property Policy applies to you and what your rights are as a potential IP creator.
Understand how new ideas become IP and how they are commercialized to help patients.
Know what to do to protect any intellectual property you create.
Know who to talk to at Nova Scotia Health if you want help commercializing your idea.

Recommended for: All Nova Scotia Health staff interested in learning more about intellectual property, what it means for them, and how the Health Innovation Hub supports the protection of new ideas.
