Workshops with templates and negotiation simulations enable practical application. Target group: professionals with IP knowledge.LernzieleA collaborative research project is fundamentally an IP-generating machine. Yet, the very nature of collaboration, which requires openness and sharing, stands in tension with the function of IP law, which is designed to grant exclusivity and control. In a collaborative environment, IP issues move beyond simple ownership (who created what) into complex realms of access, usage, and commercialization. The strategic goal isnot merely to protect IP, but to pre-align the rights of all partners to ensure that the resulting innovations can be efficiently deployed and successfully brought to market.This masterclass explores the role of IP in collaborative research, delving into the details about how best to practically manage IP in such projects. This masterclass equips you to design, negotiate, and operate robust IP management in multi partner research and innovation.You will learn how to align academic and industry incentives, translate funder expectations into workable clauses, and put practical IP governance in place across the full project lifecycle. Through case studies and actionable frameworks, you will learn to prevent common IP pitfalls. We emphasize tools you can immediately apply to your current and upcoming collaborations.ZielgruppenAre you working as a corporate patent/IP professional, as R&D project leads in collaborations or as counsel in private practice and need to manage IP in collaborative research? Then this is right online course for you. IP knowledge is assumed.
