Protection and Commercialization of Intellectual Property

Your hard work paid off and your research team developed a novel method/technique that will improve performance of an existing technology or even lead to a new product; what’s next? Should you go ahead and publish your results quickly to get the recognition you deserve or should you try to protect your hard obtained findings first? This webinar will help answer this question and cover the following topics:

• different forms of intellectual property protection (patents, utility models, copyrights) with more focus on patents
• how to apply for patents locally and internationally
• the seven deadly sins of an inventor
• exploitation of IP rights (licensing vs. startup companies)
