Whether you work for a large organization or an SME, the course is relevant and will coach you how to adjust the tools to your context.

The objectives of your online course
The IP Strategy course is an in-depth course aiming at providing the necessary knowledge, tools and skills for designing and implementing IP strategies in target areas using internal and external data. First, an overview of the concept of IP strategy is provided, with fundamentals and insights from business strategy. Next, you will learn and apply two practical tools: (1) a strategic thinking tool (IP Matrix) to help explore various strategy options within core area and beyond; and (2) a methodology for building IP strategies from scratch e.g. in new areas or in response to disruption or new competition, where the data is reformatted using the IP Matrix to enable gap analysis, SWOT and generation of options. During the online sessions, the speaker will present how this methodology is applied to a case study (Geothermal - Part A). During the onsite sessions, you will be teamed up; each team will reapply the tools to another case (Geothermal - Part B), as well as prepare and present a pitch to management. During the last online session, you will explore alternative approaches and real-life situations inspired from practice. During the course, further practical insights are provided which you can reuse with your own colleagues. Finally, the course is interactive including, among others, 1 onsite day for teamwork with peers. It is also intensive but structured to give enough space to prepare before and after each session.

What our participants say

  • The course exceeded my expectations; I expected to be educated in concepts and theories, instead I was equipped with tools and experience!
  • Very good tools for strategically combining IP and business.
  • I really liked how clear and simple a sometimes difficult and convoluted process was structured and presented
  • Really enjoyed the interactive nature of the course; plenty of discussion and lots of hands-on work which helped with the understanding
  • The course is demanding. I previously went through some of the IP-related trainings; all of them provided new aspects and knowledge that suit the target audience, but none of them operates on such a high professional and intellectual level.
  • I had no difficulties to translate the course material and the example case study to our client's situation.
  • As a "non-IP person" working in R&D, however pretty familiar with IP, I found the pace appropriate and it was not difficult to follow.

Testimonials

9 January 2017
'This 2.5-day course on IP strategy is an important milestone for me and my company. The tools provided during this extensive course will allow me to apply the methodology DIPS of Patentopolis in IP strategy project for my company. I will recommend this course mainly to IP managers having limited IP experience with strategy-making. It gives a lot of materials on the methodology DIPS and also an opportunity for data crunching, which is exactly what I was looking for.'

Rimma Pugatsch Shendelzon, IP Manager

Landa Corporation (Israel)

10 January 2017
'IP strategy is essential for business success, and I don’t want to rely on just gut feeling or hope as a strategy. Therefore, it makes sense to follow an effective methodology like DIPS of Patentopolis, since this is a well-structured, clear and logical approach. Highly recommended!'

Dr. Markus Glänzel, Director IP Management

Evonik Nutrition & Care (Germany)

'What I liked the most from this 2.5-day course on IP strategy is the methodology DIPS for strategy making since it is very practical. This Patentopolis methodology gives a path to follow where to start, as well as how to analyse data and interact with other functions during the planning phase and after.'

'There is a real need for many companies to get a structured approach to IP strategy. That’s exactly what Patentopolis course on IP strategy offers'

'Patentopolis course on IP strategy was up to my expectations and as defined during the first hour of the course. The DIPS® matrix and methodology is a very powerful toolkit, which helps to visualize how to capture value and where to invest budget and resources in areas which are relevant to the company. At the same time, it is a simple tool which can be practically implemented in my company and is effective for conveying relevant IAM aspects to managers. I very much enjoyed the course and particularly its hands-on exercise approach. Thanks to the course, I have now a more realistic view of what IP strategy is.'

'I attended the Patentopolis strategy seminar 18 months ago and found the content very interesting and important. I have started IP-strategy discussions with several clients and we started corresponding projects. My experience is that it takes a ‘change of mindset’ for IP-Managers and CTOs/CEOs of SMEs to discuss on the IP strategy level. The insight I got from the Patentopolis seminar helped me to keep the discussions with the clients on track. Also, the projects with the clients helped me to improve the understanding of what they really need. Still, it takes a lot of time and patience to reach the goal of such strategy projects in SMEs. In that process, Patentopolis strategy seminar and tools are unique and I learnt a lot there to get to a practical useful end.'
