Course overview

This practical and intense IP (intellectual property) and commercialisation course encompasses internal and external considerations of using IP within business strategy. It takes you through strategies to manage your IP portfolio while focussing on achieving the best results for your business. 

The first part focuses on aspects of creating and maintaining an IP portfolio: IP management.  The second part considers external aspects of working with IP in your ecosystem: Commercialisation with IP.  

Part 1 - IP management: covers invention harvesting (identification, capture and assessment), procedures in applying for patents, looking after trade secrets, managing your IP portfolio, budgeting for IP and ownership of IP.  To start the course, we will confirm our knowledge on IP rights. 

Part 2 - IP commercialisation: introduces strategies for working with others in the innovation ecosystem. Topics will include confidentiality agreements, handling IP matters in contracts. Looking at techniques on identifying applications and potential markets for your innovation, and considering competitor issues along the supply chain. 

Throughout this course the expert trainer will give you insights into how to manage your portfolio and get the best results for your organisation. There will also be plenty of time for delegates to ask questions and gain valuable feedback. 

This course is part of our collection of IP & Patents Training Courses.
