IP Awareness Training
Empowering Your Team to Create and Protect Value
Many companies face rising costs and stagnant productivity because they fail to innovate or protect their innovations correctly. Intellectual Property (IP) is not just a legal department issue, it is a business tool. If your R&D team, marketing staff or senior management do not understand the basics of IP, you risk losing ownership of valuable assets, infringing on others' rights or missing out on revenue opportunities.
Our IP Awareness Training is designed to bridge this gap. We provide practical, industry-relevant training that equips your team with the knowledge to identify, protect and monetise intellectual property effectively .
Our IP Awareness Services Include:
- Customised IP training workshops for corporates, SMEs & universities - We formulate bespoke training programmes based on your specific industry needs. Whether you are a tech startup needing guidance on software patents or a university focused on research commercialisation, we tailor the content, duration and level of technicality to suit your audience .
- Senior management IP strategy sessions - We conduct high-level consultations with directors and business owners to design strategies for the optimal use of IP assets throughout the business life cycle, ensuring IP aligns with your commercial goals.
- Specialised R&D and innovation training - We train scientists, researchers and engineers on patent landscape analysis. This helps your team avoid reinventing the wheel, identify white spaces for innovation and implement cost-cutting strategies in R&D.
- In-house talks on commercialisation & licensing - We cover the intricacies of licensing, franchising and IP contracts, teaching your team how to negotiate better terms and avoid common pitfalls in IP transactions.
- Public awareness & industry collaboration - We work with associations and organisations to generate broad awareness on emerging IP trends, myths and misconceptions in the global market.
