File informations

IP considerations for trade fair organisers: The IP Tool is a PDF file with a Factsheet dated May 2017.

Download possible: https://www.iprhelpdesk.eu/Fact-Sheet-IP-Considerations-Trade-Fair-Organisers.pdf

This may result in a more recent version, yet currently the saved version in the IP tool is still the valid one.

The factsheet is structured as follows:

Introduction

1. Existing initiatives

2. Awareness raising

3. On-site assistance

4. Strong policy and terms and conditions within contracts with exhibitors

5. Memorandum of understanding between partners

Furthermore, useful resources are cited.

The IP tool “IP considerations for trade fair organisers” can be used as a sound and compact source of information for SMEs, suitable also for self-study, although a bit advanced. On the other hand, it can be used by (associated) project partners in One-on-One pilot actions, as a guideline and as give-away to be handed over to the SME.

Clearly, it is most recommended for counselling of SMEs involved in organising a trade fair.

It may also be used in an IP Workshop or an IP Training, devoted to trade fairs, best in combination with the tool “IP management trade fairs”.
