IP Scan as basis of a business IP strategy

On 22 May 2023, the CARIFORUM Intellectual Property Rights and Innovation (CarIPI) project hosted a webinar on ‘IP Scan as basis of a business IP strategy’. The project will present the IP Scan initiative with business support organisations in the region.

IP Scan provides valuable information that can be used by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to:

• determine how best to use their intangible assets for business competitiveness;
• recognise types of IP, such as trade marks, designs or patents, that could be valuable and should be protected; and
• identify IP that is already protected and could be further exploited to benefit their business.

This webinar is part of CarIPI’s annual work plan 4, activity no 20: IP Scan and IP Valuation for MSMEs. The activity builds on CarIPI’s business-to-business training programme and will focus on creating stronger relations with intermediaries, such as the Caribbean Development Bank, Caricom Private Sector Organisation, Chambers of Commerce and other partners in the public and private sectors.

The webinar’s aim is to provide IP support to individual or groups of business intermediaries and MSMEs.
