Intellectual property changes ‘to help turn ideas into jobs’

BUSINESSES will benefit from new rules on intellectual property which will make it easier for entrepreneurs to turn creative ideas into “smart” jobs, according to the Enterprise Minister Batt O’Keeffe.

Announcing plans to “overhaul” the regime, he said he had asked an expert group to ensure all enterprises have better access to Government-supported intellectual property.

This will allow to use it to create jobs and drive the economic recovery, he said.
