Reviews for Jane’s courses

The webinar was very interesting and interactive. I wanted to improve my knowledge of trade secrets and so it was. All the webinar and very interesting the quiz time.

Managing Information Flows for IP (Intellectual Property) Purposes: Trade Secrets

I believe I have received structured information about trade secret that can be used for practical matter in order to improve everyday work. Moreover, I have received support to explore very important legal aspect in greater depth. The combination of legal and practical aspect of this matter -derived from speakers know how- along with the integration of quizzes, was particularly effective.

Senior Patent Administrators Annual Update: European and International Patent Formalities

Very good! Definitely worth going! The speakers were awesome. I learned a lot about the latest developments in IP practice and was happy to meet other patent administrators from different countries.

I was hoping to get more acquainted with US practices in particular, and I did thank to a very detailed presentation. The other presentations were also very interesting and instructive for me. I did not know much about the Unitary Patent but now I can say I do.

Senior Patent Administrators Annual Update: European and International Patent Formalities

It was very good and I would definitely come back and suggest my colleagues to attend the course. All speakers were very good and well prepared. I think the topics in regard to EP and US were more informational for me and brought on more new aspects.
