Intellectual property involves several expensive processes such as patent value creation, and monetization. Unfortunately, these processes are also inefficient. On average, only 1% of a company’s assets truly generate revenues, leaving the rest to collect expensive dust.
Inventors play an important role in creating a high quality patent portfolio. Every prospective inventor should be equipped with basic knowledge about intellectual property and the broader picture of IP value chain. We provide a two-tier IP training series specially designed for engineers and scientists.
