Thought for Food: IP and Takeaway and Restaurant Innovation
Jane Lambert
What possible link could there be between IP and fast food? Lots when you think of it. Trade Marks, passing off, geographical indications and of course all sorts of improvements in food preparation and distribution technology that can be patented.
That will explain why Gary Townley of the Intellectual Property Office will be speaking and exhibiting at the Takeaway & Restaurant Innovation Expo 2017 that takes place at the ExCel Centre today and tomorrow. Gary is also presenting a course on IP for the food and drink industry at Northampton Central Library on Thursday.
IP in the production, preparation, marketing and distribution is a subject of which I have had a lot of experience having been in some important cases and having advised and represented some rising stars in the industry. If you are engaged in agriculture, food preparation, distribution or catering I should be glad to talk to you.

Mums Enterprise Roadshow - London
The Business Design Centre |
Jane Lambert
In my Inventors' Club blog today I mentioned the Mums Enterprise Roadshow which is holding a series of "child-friendly work and business exhibitions helping mums on a mission whether that be retraining, finding flexible work, starting up or growing a business."
The first of those events is taking place at the Business Design Centre in Islington today. According to the event webpage, there are some interesting talks and exhibition. If you happen to be in London today and have the time it would seem to be an event that is well worth attending. The Centre is very close to Angel and Highbury and Islington tube stations and is on several bus routes. Parking is not quite so easy if you come by car, but the website says there is space for 250 vehicles at the nearby Hilton.
If any of my readers who attend the event would care to report on what they saw and did, I should be very glad to publish what they have to day.
