IP, Tech and Supply Trends in Agriculture: Intellectual Property Tools for Agriculture (Part 1)
The performance of the agricultural sector is key to Australia’s economic success. The success of the agricultural sector is in turn being driven by innovation and the uptake of tech, while on the other hand being challenged by pressures placed on the integrity and reliability of its supply chains. In this two-part legal webinar series, Baker McKenzie lawyers will explore key IP, tech and supply trends in the agricultural sector. In the first webinar, we explore the suite of intellectual property rights available to protect innovation and brands, covering agritech, agri practices and breeding innovation.
