Thanks to Technology Scotland for a great dinner event last night!
If you didn’t make the last #Springsteen gig, then the next best thing was to hear some of his tunes his last night as #theboss Alastair McInroy took to stage during the Technology Scotland dinner 😆 It was also heartening to see MSP Richard Lochhead in great form during his talk, he has been a passionate advocate for the critical technology industries, now part of an exciting new supercluster. There was a good buzz in the room and it was a great community gathering as ever! Scintilla are proud to continue our longstanding support of the team and all that they do - thank you Technology Scotland!

💡 NEW BLOG 📑 from our Director, IP Strategy Suzanne Oliver. 🤫 The Value of Trade Secrets & the Importance of Keeping Records This week, Suzanne takes us through a recent case the trade secrets rights of a company were misappropriated, leaving to an enormous pay-out in damages from the offending party. A pay-out to the tune of 💲604.9 million !! 😳 A costly mistake, to be sure. This publication follows one from earlier this year where Iain McCrindle wrote about how trade secrets can be effectively combined with #patents to create a comprehensive intellectual property (IP) #strategy.

💡Registering a #trademark is not always the end of the story, especially if your brand is quite "descriptive" (as opposed to being "distinctive"). Peter McBride went to the local PHO restaurant 🍜 (at the heart of the #GlasgowIPQuarter) to explore what happened when this restaurant chain tried to enforce its rights.
The restaurant chain "PHO" recently surrendered its #trademark. I popped along to our local branch to explain why it may be a "pho"ss 😉over nothing
