CPD:

In today’s fast-moving markets, the ability to monetise intellectual property (IP) and resolve disputes efficiently is as critical as the inventions themselves. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), smart commercialisation unlocks growth and investor confidence, while a well-designed dispute resolution framework protects relationships and cash flow and saves time when conflicts arise. However, limited resources and legal complexity can make commercialisation and dispute management challenging for SMEs.
