Collaborative Workshop - Fostering Intangible Design & IP Rights

On 24 September 2024, BEDA will meet European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in a collaborative workshop Fostering Intangible Design & IP Rights bringing together EUIPO
representatives, IP lawyers, and designers to discuss current design challenges and hot topics.

In an era where innovation and creativity are pivotal to economic growth, the protection of intangible design and intellectual property (IP) has never been more crucial. As design increasingly transcends physical products to include digital, experiential, and service-based innovations, safeguarding these intangible assets is vital for fostering creativity, economic growth, and competitive advantage.

BEDA, recognizing design as a catalyst for sustainable growth, prosperity, and social resilience across Europe, acknowledges the urgent need to address the complexities of intangible design IP protection.

This workshop aims to address the pressing need for effective design IP protection, ensuring that designers and creators can thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape while contributing to Europe’s cultural and economic vitality.

This workshop is realised in collaboration with Ornamo Art and Design Finland, Latvian Design Centre and supported by EUPIO.
