Inventors' Diary

Two events likely to be of interest to inventors and their investors are:

• The AIPPI's evening seminar "The Patent Box and ATL credits: The First Six Months - A Success?" which will take place at the offices of Carpmaels & Ransford on the 14 Oct 2013 at 17:30; and 
• the 2013 VCT and EIS forum will take place on 26 Nov 2013 at 200 Aldersgate.

For more information on both events, seem my article "Forthcoming Events: Angel News VCT and EIS Investor Forum and Anne Fairpo to speak to AIPPI UK on the Patent Box" 16 Sept 2013 Patent Box blog.

Patent Box Roadshows

The patent box is a valuable tax concession to encourage invention in the UK. It came into force on 1 April 2013 and we are holding a series of workshops on the new incentive with our good friends at BDO and Jackson & Canter.

The first of those events took place in Liverpool on 29 April 2013 and you can download the presentations that were given at that workshop from "The Patent Box Workshop: Liverpool Inventors Club" 3 May 2013 IP Northwest.

The next event will be at Leeds Central Library on 8 May 2013 at 18:00 where the main speaker will be BDO tax partner Dan Brookes (see "Leeds Inventors Group: Patent Box and R & D Credits" 4 May 2013 IP Yorkshire).

Further events are planned for London at the Liverpool Embassy in the Royal Mint on 12 July 2013 and others are planned for Manchester and other parts of the country. If you want to attend any of those events  please call me on +44 020 7404 5252 or send me an an email through my contact page.
