The 16 August 06 was an exciting night if you are interested in ip & innovation.

The panellist shared their ideas, their experiences and even some "war stories" with the audience.

Topics discussed included how companies can "innovate", tips for companies that are "deep" in an R&D phase for a proposed new product, techniques for "trapping" knowledge and avoiding knowledge "leakage" and finally ended with a very interesting discussion on their thoughts as to whether patenting is a must for attracting and then maintaining investor interest

The panel consisted of experts who work closely with 'ip & innovation':

Peter Gretton - Davies Collison Cave, Robert Crompton - Information City, Craige Mott - Bluefish , Jim Paulyshyn - KJW Consultants, Marcus Webb - BSI R&D Specialist

The audience consisted of over 40 people who were interested or already involved in ip & innovation:

Daniel Monheit - ZAP sms, Lisa Donath - BSI Events, Nick Pappas - ZAP sms

Loads of networking afterwards...
