Management of Intellectual Property Rights Workshop in Brussels - Belgium
10 March 2011 - 10 March 2011
Austria
Successful management of intellectual property rights, such as copyright, database right, trade marks and patents, is fundamental for project managers and administrators. Research managers and executives concerned with successfully managing projects and contracts in research institutions, universities, the public sector, not-for-profit and business organisations, can all benefit from understanding the broad principles. It is also important for engineers, scientists, authors and other creators working on projects to appreciate what is involved in establishing ownership, rights and interests in valuable original material.
This workshop focuses on best practice: what is essential, what is advisable, and what are the pitfalls to be avoided. Participants will learn how most effectively to deal with the material they work with: to identify, verify and protect the intellectual property rights in it, to commercially exploit and disseminate it to add value, whether printed or electronic, and also how to handle third party material legitimately.
Commercial strategies are emphasised. An EU perspective will be taken.
The following topics will be covered:
• IPR in today’s business environment
• Confidential information
• Copyright
• Software and other electronic/digital works
• EU Database Right
• Patents
• Trade Marks
• IPR and the world wide web.
The course is specifically designed for experienced project managers, programme managers, team leaders, project professionals and staff involved in international projects. Engineers, scientists, technologists, inventors, authors and other creators will also benefit.
It is held in English and limited to 15 participants in order to ensure a high quality standard.
Date: 10 March 2011
The fee includes tuition, documentation, certificate, morning coffees, sandwich lunches, afternoon teas, refreshment drinks.
