IP stands for any form of intellectual property, whether patents, copyright (software, publications) or model rights. At the moment you have an idea, always begin by contacting the IP Officer, Suki Sandhu, and by filling in an Invention Disclosure Form (IDF). On the basis of this, the IP Officer will perform an initial quick scan of the protection options. Depending on the outcome of this and, insofar as is possible and necessary, he will start the application procedure for a patent (international).
