When you’re a self-employed freelancer or contractor, it’s important to understand what intellectual property (IP) is and how you can protect yours.
By protecting your intellectual property properly, it’ll be easier for you to take legal action if a situation arises where someone exploits your intellectual property – for example if your logo is copied or an original piece of writing you’ve created is used on another website without your permission.

Designed for freelancers, contractors and anyone running a small business, this webinar, presented by a legal expert, will help you to understand more about intellectual property and copyright which in turn will arm you with the knowledge needed to both protect your business and avoid third-party copyright breach claims.
