Gain knowledge in intellectual property at SLU!
Published: 05 January 2023
Knowledge in intellectual property (IP) management and gaining the skills to draft patents are often essential for a successful career. Therefore, the Focus on Food and Biomaterials research school organized an IP workshop entitled “Practical patent (and IP) considerations and activities for a researcher”.
Knowledge in intellectual property (IP) management and gaining the skills to draft patents are often essential for a successful career. On the 6th of December, we invited Gerald Pettersson and Henrik Landgren from SLU Holding AB (link to https://www.sluholding.se/) to lead the workshop “Practical patent (and IP) considerations and activities for a researcher”. PhD students and young researchers had the opportunity to learn about IP vs commercialization, inventorship vs ownership, and patentability criteria. They even worked on a case study. Finally we were informed about SLU Holding AB and how they can support researchers with IP matters and submitting patents.
