It only takes a second to have a bright idea, that moment of inspiration, but often takes a lifetime to do something with it! The reason is simple; protecting and developing an idea can be complicated, confusing and often an expensive mistake. But it doesnt have to be. There are simple steps that can be taken to help your idea develop along a progressive route, minimising the risks and maximising the opportunity.
The British Library Business & IP Centre has developed a programme of e-learning courses in partnership with Nelson Croom that will take you step-by-step through the protection and development of your idea. Each step is designed as an easy-to-use course that can be undertaken at your leisure.
