The aim of the workshop is to focus on protection of intellectual property. Protecting your own ideas, know-how or protecting your interests from the legal side is an important step towards a well-run business. Participants will learn how to protect their ideas or cooperate with others in the commercialization of the results of their work. During that part we will answer several question: What
is intellectual property? What are the different kinds of intellectual property? Why is it good to protect it? How to commercialize intellectual property? What are the different procedures of protection of intellectual rights?
