Discover the various types of intellectual property rights, develop your IP strategy, and learn how to search for patents using Espacenet.
Every investor will ask you what makes your innovation unique and how you protect it. Think, for example, of preventing counterfeiting or keeping your trade secrets from being leaked. With an IP strategy, you’ll have the answers to these kinds of questions.
In this session, we’ll go over the different types of intellectual property rights and explore how you can use them as part of your IP strategy. In Part 2, we’ll take a closer look at patents and Espacenet, a free global patent database with over 170 million publications.
Espacenet is a source of inspiration and data that can help you improve your innovation, see what your competitors are doing, and discover interesting potential collaboration partners. After this session, you’ll have a better understanding of the possibilities and be ready to get started on your own IP strategy.
