How technology transfer and intellectual property rights can foster your company

Trademarks and patents are the perfect tools to boost technology transfer, an underestimated methodology which is capable of fostering your business in unexpected ways. In this webinar we will show why technology transfer and intellectual property rights (IPRs) are important for your company and the kind of impact you can expect from them. We will also explore how technology transfer is born and grows, and what tools you need to support it, such as trademarks and patents.
