Introduction to the course
Innovation is the commercialisation of an invention. This course on IP management presents methodologies for making decisions on which technologies should be developed and which IP assets be created. IP needs to be protected, but protection costs money, so it must be assessed within the overall context of innovation potential and enforceability. In a global market, the life-cycle management of patents on a worldwide basis is key to making best use of the patent system to gain and maintain competitive advantage.
In this course, you find five modules comprising each readings explaining the content, a recorded lecture and a quiz. Some modules also contain additional ressources complementing the training.
You will have the possibility of obtaining a certificate, after having passed the quizzes with a total rate of at least 70%. You can repeat the quizzes as often as you want.
If you want to take a quiz, you need to register in the European Patent Academy’s e-learning centre with your account and enrol to this course.
