A boy of five is thought to be the UK’s youngest person to patent an invention after coming up with a labour-saving broom to help his father sweep leaves.
SMEs and inventors need to be able to stop others sweeping away their intellectual property. In this interview, recorded at iFestival Expo 2008 at Walker Stadium, Leicester on 17 April 2008
Mr Paul Higgin, Patent & Trade Mark Attorney, talks about how and why you should protect your invention.
