Intellectual property is a vital asset for companies and academic institutes alike, but it can sometimes seem a complex topic. Here we will discuss various aspects of intellectual property, starting from the basics and with a particular focus on the biotechnology field. As well as patents we will discuss non-patent aspects of intellectual property, in particular how to protect your brand. There will also be a panel discussion on how the recent significant changes in US patent laws will affect the biotechnology industry.
