Baylis Business Breakout Room
A facility which enables meetings to be recorded with a view to protecting Intellectual Property and Assets.
Every business holds Intellectual Assets (IA) whether they appreciate it or not. The IA's consist of the ‘Intellectual Property’ and ‘know-how’ held by a firm.
‘Intellectual Property Rights’ (IPR) are the legal rights given to a business to enable it to block or control the use of their IA's. However, many small firms or budding entrepreneurs often jeopardise their IP through unwitting disclosure e.g. in semi-public conversations, or through disclosure to advisors or backers during business negotiations.
Benefits of the Baylis Room
It is possible to protect IP through a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), though who knows exactly what was said and in any discussion.
The Breakout Room enables inventors/entrepreneurs to protect their IA's during discussions with business advisors, enabling their conversations to be recorded (video and audio) and NDAs signed and witnessed by camera. It is available for the staff and students of the University as well as members of a series of sponsoring bodies including the Federation of Small Business, the North Hampshire Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Business Link, Winchester City Council and Business in the Community.
