In the technology rich world of defence, intellectual property (IP) is a hugely valuable and critical asset, both for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and contractors. Ownership of IP and how it can be used and exploited is one of the most important topics in any negotiation with the MOD. This is a particularly hot topic at the moment as MOD is questioning whether its current approach to IP is fit for the modern technology rich world, and is seeking some amendments to its IP standard terms.

The event is aimed at anyone working in an organisation currently contracting, or looking to contract with MOD. It is part of Bird & Bird's defence seminar programme: a forum for members of the industry to network with peers, hear about the latest industry trends and developments, share common experiences and challenges and learn from others.
We look forward to hosting you at what is sure to be a lively and engaging session!
Please note that this event will be run simultaneously as an in-person seminar in London, and broadcast remotely as a webinar. Please do invite colleagues who cannot attend in person to dial into the webinar.
