Our speaker will introduce the notion of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), such as patents, in the context of working in research institutions and companies.
One of the main challenges is to raise awareness of the usefulness of patents. The presentation will provide insights in what are the foundations of a patent, what a patent stands for and how to use it.
Another purpose of this presentation is to show how to benefit of integrating patent writing into the research process, by dealing with publishing your research in parallel to writing a patent application, or at least to establish synergies between these two processes.
The presentation will be followed by an open discussion with the audience.
The propose of this workshop will be to inform the audience about the usefulness of patents, how to enter in this and unusual matter, and how to benefit individually, but also as an organization or a company of including patents, patent writing and patent applications in your workflow.
