Intellectual Property: Trademarks

http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/tm/t-about/t-whatis.htm

Trade marks are not registrable if they:

• describe your goods or services or any characteristics of them, for example, marks which show the quality, quantity, purpose, value or geographical origin of your goods or services;
• have become customary in your line of trade;
• are not distinctive;
• are three dimensional shapes, if the shape is typical of the goods you are interested in (or part of them), has a function or adds value to the goods;
• are specially protected emblems;
• are offensive;
• are against the law, for example, promoting illegal drugs; or;
• are deceptive. There should be nothing in the mark which would lead the public to think that your goods and services have a quality which they do not.

What does a Finance Director do?

Useful article that breaks down the role of the Finance Director.

Jerome this will probably be most useful for you. I’m just putting a few of the sentences into your job role for the Operational Plan.

Just found this document that is pretty useful at getting an idea how our product could be quality controlled, and also what this actually means…

Feedback from formative assessment

I photocopied the feedback from everyone.

Really useful stuff, I plan on doing a little write up and creating some kind of plan from what we have.

If everyone can go through it and pick out around 3 points that you feel are most important we can use this feedback constructively.

Cheers guys! Feedback

Costs (revised)

These include the cost for us to pay BT to use their internet. Looks like we would need a hefty load from the bank!! But we are in profit in month 4.
