Patents play an important role in the area of green technology. This advanced lecture series provides participants with insights into the innovations happening in green tech and reveal how IP strategy can lead to success.

The publication of information related to patent applications and granted patents is anchored in the EPC under Chapter II of Part VII.

The EPO maintains a variety of tools for searching and analysing this information and regularly conducts public webinars. 

This series provides a unique opportunity to interact with former European Inventor Award finalists, learn from their inspiring experiences, and look at what goes into successfully bringing an invention to market.

The talks will be streamed on social media platforms, more details can be found on the EPO training page.

This series of six virtual classroom sessions (VCs) is designed for business advisors, technology transfer professionals and anyone else interested in understanding how IP issues impact SMEs and new businesses.

This self-paced course has been created to provide TUM students with  an overview of what patents are, what requirements an invention has to fulfill to be patentable and what a patent application should generally comply with. The course also deals with patent documentation and other intellectual property (IP) rights. Students can obtain a certificate after passing a quiz.

This self-paced training course deals with the role of patents in innovation and research, the conditions an invention has to meet in order to become a patent and how to use patent documentation for a particular research project.
