These sessions are short one off or periodic meetings with key people or a person from a business to identify inventions and help determine whether there is a strong business case for filing a patent application. 

The purpose of these sessions is to spend a little time (typically 30 minutes to an hour) with a business looking at recent product and/or process developments to determine whether there are inventions which could in principle be patented.  As part of this discussion there would also be time to talk about whether an application is worth filing.

The sessions take place at your premises or online.  They often work best with a mix group of staff including one or more senior managers together with one or more staff who are directly involved in product development / R&D.  The sessions are tailored to suit whoever is involved. 

No charge is made for the session and there is no pressure or commitment to file patent applications.  It is all about checking whether an application could be filed and whether it is worth it.

Whether your aim is to get one or more patents, reduce the corporation tax you are paying or you are just interested in learning more about IP, these sessions are an opportunity for a business to be fully informed of the opportunities they are creating.
