Managing Intellectual Property in Aerospace - Key Risks & Practical Strategies

Introduction

Is your IP strategy equipped for the legal complexities of aerospace programmes?

Intellectual property management in aerospace raises issues that extend well beyond routine patent filing and portfolio administration. Extended product lifecycles, highly integrated and multi-jurisdictional supply chains and the increasing overlap between civil and defence technologies create layered legal and strategic challenges that can test even well-established IP frameworks.

This webinar is designed for IP practitioners advising in or supporting aerospace programmes. It will examine the principal legal and strategic risk areas, as well as the key decision points that arise throughout the lifecycle of aerospace technologies and collaborations.

You will gain practical insight into structuring and safeguarding IP rights in complex engineering environments, as well as managing freedom-to-operate (‘FTO’) analysis in contexts where technological convergence and cross-border dependencies are the norm.

By the end of the webinar, you will have a clearer framework for advising on aerospace IP matters, together with a deeper understanding of the legal, commercial and enforcement risks that arise where IP strategy is fragmented or underdeveloped.

Register today to enhance your expertise in managing complex aerospace IP portfolios and supporting clients operating in high-risk, high-value technology environments.

What You Will Learn

The webinar will cover the following:

• How to identify the key IP risk points that arise throughout aerospace projects
• Where different forms of intellectual property can be applied to aerospace technologies
• How to make informed decisions between patent protection and trade secrets
• Best practices for capturing and managing IP during the product development lifecycle
• Practical approaches to assessing and maintaining freedom to operate (‘FTO’)
• How to develop an effective IP strategy and the commercial benefits it can deliver
• The most common IP pitfalls that lead to disputes or loss of protection and how to avoid them
• Lessons from real-world IP challenges and how a robust IP strategy could have mitigated them

This pre-recorded webinar will be available to view from Tuesday 9th February 2027
