Intellectual Property

The ICASS service will help you investigate the originality of your idea, and then search, establish and protect the Intellectual Property Rights.

They will explain the difference between:

  • Patents
  • Trademarks
  • Copyright
  • Design Right

They can also signpost you to Patent Agents, Licensing Agents, potential partners and possible sources of finance.

Advisors are based throughout Scotland and will sign a Confidentiality Agreement if required. You can contact your local adviser through the ICASS website.
