Seminar “Patents & Innovation”
Thursday May 10, 2012, 9.00 – 15.00 h
High Tech Campus Eindhoven,
Conference centre "The Strip", room "Curie"
The workshop is particularly aimed at entrepreneurs, managers and project leaders involved in technical innovation. Innovation processes involve various stages from conception to business. Each stage has its own approach as regards to protection of intellectual property. When a patent application is filed, you need to make decisions in the patent life cycle in order to obtain the protection desired. Another important issue in innovation is finance. How do you finance the technological development, the market, and last but not least the intellectual property that comes with it?
- Gain insight into the patent lifecycle;
- Learn what should be done with regard to patent protection, in each stage of innovation, ranging from strategic analyses, invention disclosure, patent filing to freedom-to-operate evaluation;
- Be able to make the right decision at the right time, and obtain (cost )effective deployment of your patent portfolio.
- Learn what government subsidies are available for financing innovation;
- Gain insight into how private banking may aid in financing innovation.
The workshop will be conducted by qualified patent attorneys of AOMB and financial consultants of Rabobank. Language of the workshop will be English. Handouts will be available for all participants.
