in attracting customers, it is likely that competitors sooner or

some cases, competitors will provide similar or identical
products or services at a cheaper price, putting heavy pressure
on the innovator of the original product or service. This IP
workshop will educate business owners about the role and use
intellectual property (IP) can play in your business to help you
avoid being exploited, marginalised or treated unfairly.|
