Your Teacher

Our comprehensive curriculum is designed and delivered by Jan Osei-Tutu, a distinguished university professor in trademark law and a renowned cultural IP consultant.

We aim to empower entrepreneurs and small businesses with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect their ideas, brands, and creative works while fostering respect for cultural intellectual property.

In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, trademarks and cultural intellectual property play a crucial role in safeguarding innovation, creativity, and cultural heritage. Our courses provide a solid understanding of the legal frameworks, principles, and best practices surrounding these vital areas.

Participants will gain insights into the essentials of trademark law, learning how to understand trademark rights before and after registration, and things to think about if you sell or source your products internationally.

Jan adds a unique and global perspective to the courses, providing invaluable insights into the nuances of protecting and respecting cultural expressions and traditional knowledge.
