Keynote Address
Best Practices in Corporate IP Education
IP strategies are decided by the people at the top of the corporate hierarchy, but they’re executed by everyone in an organization. Simply, every employee, from top to bottom, must understand the fundamentals of IP and the importance of IP to your enterprise. It’s IP awareness and education that will ensure your people contribute innovative ideas, help you capture them with IP, and help you enforce them in the marketplace.
The traditional approach to IP training is to gather employees together in a conference room or virtual meeting to talk through a PowerPoint presentation of IP basics. In this session lead by Executive IP, the global leader in IP training for non-IP professionals, we will explore various methods for raising the IP-IQ of your organization.
