Intellectual Property Rights ['EVI' Course No E12] [<<]

The role of intellectual property rights has become a key issue over the past two decades. The changes in biotechnology and intellectual property protection that have occurred since 1980 make private enterprise possible for the first time in many broad research areas as in the health sciences. Furthermore, universities, cooperatives and other public and non-profit institutions now have the option of licensing or selling research outputs in this area, rather than giving their results away for free. As the scope and power of IPRs in biotechnology has grown, their international reach has expanded. These developments raise many fascinating and important issues.
  • IPR - Basic introduction to the substantive IP rights (patent, trade mark, design and copyright) - recognition and protection
  • Basic introduction - quasi-IP rights [confidentiality, trade secrets, know how, reputation] - recognition and protection
  • The IP portfolio manager - roles and responsibilities
  • IPR Ownership and Employment issues
