Content
1. Open innovation
(VCL 1/4)
18 November 2014, 14.00 hrs CET (13.00 hrs GMT)
Innovation used to be very much a closed shop. Only ideas created within a company were regarded by that company as ideas worth pursuing. This view has changed; now “open innovation” is the buzz word.
This first session of the series will look at what open innovation is and the relevance of IPR within it. It will give some guidance on how to manage technology transfer and on the legal implications of technology transfer partnerships.
2. IP commercialisation
(VCL 2/4)
20 November 2014, 14.00 hrs CET (13.00 hrs GMT)
What can you do with a patent? The standard is to build a product based on the IP and sell it. Is that all there is?
The second session of the series will introduce and discuss various options for commercialising a patent, beyond simply producing and selling it yourself.
3. Valuation I
(VCL 3/4)
2 December 2014, 14.00 hrs CET (13.00 hrs GMT)
What is the value of a specific patent? This question can be very important, for a variety of reasons.
The third session looks at three different ways of estimating the value of a patent. Various methods will be introduced, including recommendations as to when to use each one.
4. Valuation II case study
(VCL 4/4)
9 December 2014, 14.00 hrs CET (13.00 hrs GMT)
Following on from the third session (Valuation I), this fourth session introduces a case study which will allow participants to work interactively on the valuation of a patent.
Participants will identify the main factors involved in determining the license fee for a transaction. Using basic data they will come up with a royalty rate and – very importantly – a justification for it.
