Executive summary

In these financial times (2011), Britons have to look at alternative means of creating revenue using
their natural assets. Your Intellectual Property may be worth several thousands of pounds and may
be able to generate significant revenue streams for you.

Our service is designed to create revenue streams for individuals (young and old) by exploring their
natural talents and converting those talents into Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) that can be
protected and mapped to commercial opportunities that exist in the market today. It can also assist
parents to create IPRs for their children as a means of providing a secure financial future for them.

Our processes are as follows:

1. Talent registration – we accept talents from different sources, individuals can contact
us directly, and Organisations can integrate our services into their programmes to enable
referral of individuals with talent to us.

2. Initial assessment – An initial assessment is carried out prior to registering a talent,
the assessment will indentify the quality of the talent as well as its propensity to acquire
commercial interest. Upon successful completion of the initial assessment, a report is
generated for the talent detailing the next steps as well as the costs associated. The initial
assessment costs £250 the assessment is non refundable and payable prior to
commencement of the assessment.

3. Intellectual property right protection – we have specialist agents that we use in
registering your intellectual property rights in the UK, across Europe and internationally if
you desire. The cost of protection can vary depending on the right you seek to protect and
the extent to which you seek protection.

4. Commercial opportunity exploration – the aim of this module is to map your
IPR to commercial opportunities available in the market. To achieve this we would have as
part of your IPR protection provided you with an IPR kit that will include contracts and
licences with potential clients of yours.

5. Managing your IPR – once you have created your contracts or issued licences for your
IPRs, we can assist you in managing those rights to ensure that they are not abused.

Introduction to Intellectual Property rights

There are 4 broad types of Intellectual Property Rights namely:

1. Trade Marks - A symbol (logo, words, shapes, a celebrity name, jingles) used to provide a
product or service with a recognisable identity to distinguish it from competing products. It
protects the distinctive components which make up the marketing identity of your brand.

2. Copyright - Copyright is used to protect original creative works, published editions, sound
recordings, films and broadcasts. It exists independently of the recording medium, so buying
a copy does not confer the right to copy.

3. Design Registration - Design registrations are used to protect products distinguished by their
novel shape or pattern. They are available for one-off items.

4. Patents - Patents are used to protect new product, process, apparatus, and uses providing
the invention is not obvious in light of what has been done before, is not in the public
domain, and has not been disclosed anywhere in the world at the time of the application.
Patent Law is a specific area of law that we do not serve however can recommend reputable
Patent Lawyers.
