During 2020, the IP EXPERIENCE Project has run a cycle of seminars and workshops to point out the strategic value of Intellectual Property in the context of start-ups and new entrepreneurial activities, the protection of results from research activities, and collaborations between industry and research institutions.
Start-uppers, enterprises, and managers have shared their experiences on the impact of IP on business activities and attendees have been engaged in IP issues during workshops, simulating the setting of a preliminary IP strategy for creative solutions, with the help of patent and trademark attorneys.
The closing event of the Project targets university students, young researchers, entrepreneurs, and in general anyone interested in IP as a strategic asset to commercially exploit results spreading out from research and innovation activities.
During the event, IP system representatives will provide some insights on trends, initiatives, and guidelines that are running at the European Union level to spread IP awareness and finally to strengthen the innovation potential of the EU companies.
In particular, representatives from the European Union Intellectual Property Office-EUIPO will shine a light on two topics. The first one will be related to the strategic value of IP for businesses, in particular, SMEs, remarking the importance of Intellectual Property to support innovation and creativity. The second topic will be related to the new generations and the role of IP, and the importance to raise awareness of IP at university and tertiary education, stressing how Universities and other public institutions face new challenges in understanding and responding to the needs of the new generations.
Results of the IP Experience Project will be presented and discussed.
