Northampton Business and IP Centre

Library card index

























In Enterprising Licences 25 July 2915 NIPC Inventors Club I mentioned that Northamptonshire had received funding from the Arts Council to develop a Business & IP Centre at Northampton. I had noted that Northampton Central Library had joined the PatLib Network on 29 Jan 2015 so I checked the County Council's website to see whether there had been any change since then.

There has in fact been a workshop on intellectual property basics on 22 July 2015. Also, intellectual property advice sessions are available on the 1st and 3rd Thursday mornings of the month at Northampton Central Library and on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday afternoons of the month at Wellingborough Library. Anyone wanting to book a slot at one of those sessions should email answersplus@northamptonshire.gov.uk or call 01604 361447.

There is also an organization called Creative Northamptonshire which offers one-to-one advice services to businesses in the creative sector and publishes a newsletter from time to time.

Although it is not connected directly to the  Business and IP Centre, Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce will hold a business exhibition and lunch on 11 Sept 2015 at the Park Inn Northampton, Silver Street, Northampton NN1 2TA.
