One of the country's top copyright and trade marking lawyers was in Bradford to advise businesses on how to best protect their wares.

John Lambert, pictured, of the National Intellectual Property Counsel (NIPC), spoke at Gumption Centre on Glydegate in an event backed by Business Link.

During his informative talk he spoke to delegates on the ins and outs of copyright laws, trade marking, design rights, domain names, databases, patents and contracts, all from an entrepreneur's point of view.

Mr Lambert is the only full-time barrister specialising in Intellectual Property outside of London and he also sits on the council for domain name resolution for the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
