Two IPs In A Pod
Brilliant inventions, fresh product designs, iconic brand names and artistic creativity are not only the building blocks of successful business - they deliver a better world for us all. But these valuable forms of intellectual property must be protected in order to flourish. We are the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys - the UK's largest intellectual property organisation. Our hosts Lee Davies and Gwilym Roberts chat with entrepreneurs, creatives, patent attorneys and the occasional judge about how patents, trade marks, designs and copyright can improve our lives and solve problems for humanity.

With Gecko Rubber
Punctures are the bane of life for cyclists. So entrepreneur Richard Adams has come up with a solid, lightweight rubber tyre which he sells through his company Gecko Rubber. He realised early in his journey that he needed to protect his invention and so turned to Chartered Patent Attorney Tom Turner of Abel and Imray for guidance and expertise. Richard and Tom chat with co-hosts Lee Davies and Gwilym Roberts about advice for start-ups, effective patenting and business strategy and other applications for the expanded rubber invention - including as a bumber for overly amorous tortoises.
