Management of Intellectual Property Rights in Brussels, Belgium
6 October 2011 - 6 October 2011
Austria
Successful management, exploitation and protection of intellectual property rights, such as copyright, patents, database right and trade marks, 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 and protecting 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, working with collaborators and participants in projects and joint ventures.
The focus is practical, by means of lecturing and participation through discussions, practical examples and case studies. 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: 6 October 2011
Venue: Helmholtz Office, Rue du Trône 98, 1050 Brussels, Belgium
