Taking place on Tuesday 16 October, 2018, at the Tamburlaine Hotel, this free one day event will bring together in-house legal professionals, general counsel, investors, CEOs, CTOs and senior decision makers to provide a focused forum for discussing and analysing the issues currently setting the business agenda in Cambridgeshire.

Marks & Clerk is one of the world’s top intellectual property (IP) firms and aims to highlight the role that IP plays in protecting the innovation that drives the economy on a local and national scale. In 2017, the East of England filed 623 patents via the European Patent Office, up 3.1% on the previous year. This demonstrates the value of IP, and puts the region above the UK as a whole – which saw a 2.4% increase in filing.
