26.11. BEDA Wide Open Door Dialogue: Designer, Know Your Rights!

Register now for an engaging online session that will make you excited about design protection again!

The phrase ‘intellectual property rights’ might not sound too exciting to many but don’t be misled, it is an interesting and important topic. Strong design protection is crucial not only for designers but also for businesses. We all benefit from the environment with good practices of strong design protection.

Join our Wide Open Door Dialogue to learn from the industry experts, hear the experience of fellow designers and get practical tools and information for your creative endeavours.

This online session brings together practising designers, businesses utilising design and regulatory authorities to learn from each other and level up their game in design protection. The event is free but registration is required.
