IP for Life Science Companies: Preparing for Future Investment

This workshop will explore the protection and strategic use of intellectual property (IP) for building a company with a competitive advantage.

Understanding and developing an IP strategy is essential for all companies seeking to compete in an environment where obtaining investment and commercial success is becoming increasingly competitive.

The different forms of IP protection available will be described with a particular emphasis on the Life Sciences sector. Further, the workshop will cover how these forms of IP protection can be used to develop an IP strategy that will strengthen and safe-guard your company and help you prepare for future investment opportunities.
