In this webinar, we will highlight the significance of license recordals to your role as a paralegal and best practice for recording them at the UK IPO and WIPO.
Recording changes to registered IP rights is critical to ensuring valuable rights are not lost or waived. The process of recording changes (such as ownership changes or the recordal of a license) can be all encompassing.
Understand the importance of not disregarding licences and security interests, in what is a vital aspect of IP rights ownership and management.
We will go on to cover the importance of meticulous due diligence when handling bulk merger/assignment programs.
Join this webinar and ensure that your recordal programmes are managed efficiently and cost-effectively.
