Welcome to the first episode of 'Bringing new ideas to life', the podcast from the innovation consultancy, Oxentia. In the months ahead, we will bring you discussions and interviews covering knowledge exchange and commercialisation, innovation management and cultures, accelerator programmes, social impact in the arts humanities and social sciences, capacity building and entrepreneurial support, plus a lot more. 

In our first series we join Dom Icely, Co-founder of Impact IP, the Innovation Intellectual property law practice and Bruno Reynolds Managing Consultant at Oxentia to discuss the importance of having an IP strategy for companies. In this first episode:

• they emphasise the need for companies to think about the end game and commercial strategy when developing IP;
• discuss the internal process that companies have to identify valuable IP and the importance of staff training to understand different forms of IP;
• clarify the difference between confidential information and know-how owned by the employer and the individual.
• stress the importance of companies protecting their IP and understanding the value of their IP assets.
