ICI-35 - Patents as a competitive instrument November 25, 2009

Intellectual property (IP) rights are powerful economic assets. This workshop will give an overview over the various types of intellectual property rights including patents, trade marks, designs, copyright, and outline strategies for obtaining the best possible protection for innovative ideas, for the enforcement of intellectual property rights and for the economic exploitation of such rights.

Using a case study, delegates will analyse a situation of various competitors in an industry and develop a patent strategy. By practising with real world patent documents you quickly gain experience in assessing and analysing patents.
