Training on Maker Culture and Intellectual Property Protection

Published at: November 27th 2021

The maker culture is an important and inevitable manifestation of the future economic development of any country. It brings market disruptions but also unique opportunities for innovation, research, and development. Along this journey, many makers focus on starting their own businesses, building teams, attracting investors, creating marketing plans, and so on, often not paying enough attention to intellectual property issues. However, these beginnings are precisely the critical time to ensure that makers take the necessary steps to protect their intellectual property, avoiding potential risks of rights loss or inadequate protection. Participants had the opportunity to learn about all of this and more at the training conducted by experts from FabLab BiH as part of the project 'Maker Movement Establishing in BiH and Strengthening in the Visegrad Region, 2021–2022,' supported by the Visegrad Foundation.
