This presentation demystifies intellectual property (IP) and shows why it matters far more than many founders think.</p> <p>We’ll explore briefly the different forms of IP and clarify what each protects in practical terms. You’ll discover when an idea becomes an “invention,” when you should consider filing a patent, and who the right professionals are to guide you along the way.</p> Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:40:22 +0000 admin 10593 at /drs /drs/channels/event/d2r-x-norton-rose-fulbright-protecting-your-ideas-guide-innovators-371239 <p>“Innovation” is everywhere these days—but beyond the buzzword, what does it really mean for a young company, and how can you turn it into a concrete competitive advantage?</p> Tue, 17 Feb 2026 19:35:05 +0000 admin 10590 at /drs /drs/channels/news/d2r-x-nrc-biomanufacturing-collaboration-event-371267 <p>A half day showcase of <strong>D2R</strong> and the<strong> </strong><a href="https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/products-services/technical-advisory-services/biomanufacturing"><strong>National Research Council</strong></a>’s shared biomanufacturing and bioengineering research priorities.
