Description

Audience at Betagroup startup event in Brussels

Start-up legal training sessions

The Betagroup Coworking Brussels and Field Fisher Waterhouse have partnered to bring all the Betagroup community a new series of free training sessions covering practical legal issues for start-ups, with a particular emphasis on the internet and web industry.

The purpose is to provide the participants with a basic knowledge of essential legal issues in corporate, IT, IP and commercial contracts.

Each session conducted in English will address a specific topic and will be presented by lawyers specialised in their field. The presentations will be to the point, non-academic and will handle the subject with pragmatic approach, based on previous experience.

The sessions will be followed by a Q&A and a drink where you will be able to ask your questions and share experiences with speakers and participants.

Which brings us to the subject of our fifth session:

Brand Protection : Carefully choosing and protecting the name of your new business is often vital for a start-up company.

Agenda

  • The DO’s and DON’T in brand protection (eg descriptive v. fantasy names),
  • The procedure/costs associated with trademark protection;
  • The basics of trademark litigation (incl. domain names) : what can you do if someone else is using a trademark similar to yours and what are your risks if someone has a trademark similar to your name?

The presentation will be half an hour long, followed by Q&A and a drink to keep on asking questions to the speaker.
