IPR and Software
14/04/2021

Software is present at all levels, at the interface with low level hardware though to the interface with end users, and everything in between. But the nature of software raises many issues concerning its management, protection and exploitation. This is due to the range of different application areas; its ability to operate globally; its fast rate of development, adaptation and change; and its composite nature. Because we also live in an interconnected world, software needs to manage its interfaces, and to take into consideration formal and de-facto standards, to ensure seamless interoperability.

This webinar will look at some specific issues concerning the protection and exploitation of software, such as the most appropriate IP Rights to use (e.g. patents, database rights, etc), and different exploitation models for design tools, product and services (e.g. Open Source licensing, start-ups, etc). This webinar is relevant for all those involved with developing and exploiting software tools, products and services; or acquiring or licensing it in; whether they are SMEs, large companies or researchers.

This is particularly relevant for the pharmaceutical industry, which depends on patent protection to support its investments in medical research. Developing a new drug and successfully bringing it to market is a risky, lengthy and expensive venture especially now that COVID-19 created an urgent need for therapeutic innovation!

IP Management in ICT projects
23/09/2021

Compared to other technology sectors, ICT innovations (e.g. new products or services) have unique challenges. ICT innovations often require bundles of different IP Rights (e.g. patents, trademarks, copyright, etc); ICT can be trans-border (e.g. cloud-based); ICT is cumulative (e.g. much re-use and integration); ICT is convergent (e.g. technologies can recombine to create new innovations); ICT is fast-moving and fast-changing (e.g. short life cycles, new paradigms). These characteristics raise many challenges for EC funded projects concerning the management and protection of research results, and strategies and plans for their exploitation.

This webinar will discuss specific issues that EC funded projects should address whether using or developing ICT; in particular concerning knowledge management and protection, exploitation, and maximising impacts. This webinar is relevant for all those involved with using, developing and/or commercially exploiting ICT innovations, whether they are SMEs, large companies or researchers.
