Patents, trademarks, and copyrights protect different parts of your startup, your inventions, your brand, and your creative works. Knowing the difference can save you from costly mistakes and give your business a competitive edge. Join us as experts break it down and show you how to safeguard your innovation.
Startup Grind Nairobi, in partnership with Afrinovation Festival 2025, is hosting an engaging webinar on Intellectual Property (IP) for startups, entrepreneurs, researchers, and creators.
How do you protect your invention, product, design, creative work, or even code? What’s the procedure in Kenya? Which bodies handle IP protection? How much does it cost, and why does it matter whether you or your employer/institution owns the IP?
These are questions many don’t think about until it’s too late. This session will bring the answers closer to you, helping you understand patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and why safeguarding your innovation is critical to growth and survival.
💡 Why attend?
-Learn practical steps to protect your IP.
-Understand the role of IP in business and research.
-Get insights from an IP lawyer, expert, and patent agent.
-Network with fellow innovators and entrepreneurs.
This important conversation is absolutely free, so RSVP today, and invite your co-founders, researchers, creators, and fellow entrepreneurs to join.
And while you’re at it, don’t forget to check out https://afrinovationfestival.com/ for the upcoming Afrinovation Festival 2025 happening on October 16–17 at ASK Dome, where even more groundbreaking conversations on innovation in Africa await.
