Description
Intellectual Property (IP) such as patents, trademarks or trade secrets remain critical for the sustainable success of every innovative business. Own IP is an asset that helps keep competition at a distance, but likewise companies must also avoid competitors' IP. Scientists in both academia and industry need to understand key IP concepts to make full use of their ideas and avoid costly mistakes. Dr. Tilman Breitenstein has been responsible for high-value IP at Bayer, DSM and BASF. He today counsels Start-ups with his own company Scalable IP. In this seminar he will provide a practical and theoretical overview that many previous participants found useful both for their university studies and later career. The course is held in English. English special vocabulary is studied. The seminar concludes with an online final test on the last seminar date.
