BUSINESSES and individuals can get help in protecting their products, inventions and creations at an unusual charity fundraising event.

BRANDED! of Clifton Moor is holding an Open Office day in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support on Friday which is World Intellectual Property Day.

The firm of intellectual property specialists will give presentations on patents, trade marks, registered designs, copyright and other legal protections businesses and individuals can use to prevent others from copying and marketing their ideas.

Sally Millington, fundraising manager for Macmillan said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to visit the team at BRANDED! who can help you to find out more and help to raise money for people affected by cancer. We really do appreciate the support.”

Anyone interested in attending should phone Tom Appleby on 01904 476388 or email t.appleby@trade-mark.co.uk.
