OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How to protect your idea and when to ask for advice
Have you made a new discovery, developed a technique, a device, or want to learn what aspects of your research may have a commercial potential? Or you simply struggle with a common scientists’ dilemma: publish or patent? Join Innovation Forum Oxford on the10th of January at the JR Hospital for a two-part lecture:
The first on intellectual property delivered by Dr Philip Webber, a patent attorney from Dehns, to learn:
what is Intellectual property and why it is important for the success of your company
how to determine whether your novel diagnostic device, computational algorithm, laboratory reagent or gene sequence is patentable in the first place
how to successfully patent your idea
Followed by a duo of expert speakers: Nicola McConville (Partner at Pennington Manches) and Sue Staunton (Partner at James Cowper Kreston), who will highlight the importance of seeking legal advice at the early stage of a startup formation to avoid legal risk that may threaten the business before it has even started.
