Effective management of intellectual assets is crucial in research and innovation projects. The focus of this webinar will range from determining the best management framework for a particular activity to the issue of how to create a convincing plan centered on the management and exploitation of the research results. Additionally, several approaches to defining professional and systematic IP management in Horizon (2020/HEU) projects will be discussed.

We are happy to announce the second session of the "Patent protection for EU funding beneficiaries" lecture series organised in co-operation with the European Patent Academy. Each lecture explores the interface between patents and the respective technical field. This session will specifically focus on Artificial intelligence in MedTech and introduce the main aspects of IP management: notably IP ownership, protection and exploitation. Please note that by registering for one session, participants will automatically register for all sessions within the series.

The European Patent Office and the Licensing Executives Society International are organising a new series of High-growth technology business forums. Leaders from deep tech businesses will present their live case studies online and discuss them with an international panel of experts. The forums will emphasise the perspective of growth financing, build-to-sell, and IP strategy and management. The one-hour session will be followed by an optional meet-the-speakers gathering. The first session on "Growth Financing" will highlight the key role played by IPR (intellectual property rights) portfolios and strategy in attracting investment and increasing company value.

The EU-funded project BreedingValue invites the European breeding and plant research community to a workshop striving to establish a common understanding of the regulatory framework for intellectual property (IP) management of new pre-breeding material. High-level representatives of the ECPGR, FAO, CPVO and the European Commission will share their views on the current international regulatory framework and its consequences for IP management of pre-breeding material. European research projects focusing on GenRes will provide insight into the IP landscape. The workshop will be held in a hybrid format.

The Horizon IP Scan is a tailored, free-of-charge, first-line intellectual property (IP) support service provided by the European Commission (EC) in order to assist European start-ups and other SMEs involved in EU-funded collaborative research projects to effectively manage and value IP in collaborative R&I efforts. The 20-minute info session aims to provide all interested parties with background information on the EC's innovation support initiative, as well as information on its advantages and the application procedure.

The Consortium Agreement (CA) outlines the rights and responsibilities of project partners, including provisions related to internal organisation and decision-making, financial matters, and the handling of intellectual property (IP) rights. A CA is typically required for most projects and should be signed prior to the Grant Agreement (GA). This webinar will offer insights into the essential components of the CA and the important considerations that should be addressed in it.

Innovation entails transforming an idea into a practical product, process, or service. Critical decisions must be made at different stages of this process. This training session, aimed specifically at small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs who are developing new products or processes, will cover the different phases of innovation and how patent information can aid decision-makers in seamlessly progressing from one step to the next, ultimately leading to successful commercialisation.

Intellectual Property (IP) commercialisation is the process of turning an idea or invention into a product that can be purchased and sold. This webinar will give a general overview of important concepts in the field of IP licensing, offer negotiation advice and spotlight common pitfalls. It will also provide information on different types of agreements or contracts (i.e., assignment, distribution agreement).
