Who Should Attend

You work in an IP, patent or R&D department or as a patent attorney in private practice acting as external/ outsourced IP managers and are asked to perform an IP audit?

Then this online course is intended for you. Knowledge of IP is required.

Objective of the Event

In order to identify the potential IP assets of your company or your client, you need to carry out an IP audit regularly. It can help to reduce costs by identifying obsolete assets which you can stop paying maintenance fees for. An IP audit can also help you to identify non-core IP assets in the portfolio which can be licensed out.

If your company's or client's products are under infringement risk, an IP audit can determine where anti-infringement actions are advisable. IP audits also play a role in mergers and acquisition when buyers perform an IP due diligence.

Attend our online course and learn what you need to know in order to carry out an IP audit or to assess a service provider's IP audit.
