Virtual classrooms on IP evaluation and protection
Organized by European Patent Academy
Working language: English
Description
This series of five one-hour virtual classroom sessions will introduce the main concepts of IP evaluation and protection. Innovation is the commercialisation of an invention. Decisions on which technologies should be developed and which IP assets created must be carefully evaluated. IP needs to be protected, but protection costs money, so it must be assessed within the overall context of innovation potential and enforceability. In a global market, the life-cycle management of patents on a worldwide basis is key to making best use of the patent system to gain and maintain competitive advantage.
