Course overview

It is widely considered that intangible assets account for up to 80 per cent of the value of most businesses, making it vital for companies to align their IP strategy with their business strategy. For some, the IP strategy will drive the business agenda. However, for most businesses that have grown organically, it is essential that a strategic IP plan is developed and implemented in order to protect the company’s assets as well as maximising value from these assets. Whether you have no strategy currently in place or you simply need to develop your current strategy and get management buy-in, this is the course for you.

This highly interactive seminar will provide you with the practical knowledge, skills and toolkit to enable you to put an IP strategy in place for your company. Starting with a matrix-based model linking innovation to value creation/capture and the role of IP therein, you will learn and apply a structured, step-by-step methodology to set up a strategic plan aligned with R&D and business goals. Case studies and real-life examples will be used throughout the course to help embed learning, alongside the opportunity for direct application to situations of your choice with coaching from our expert trainer.

Included within the seminar fee is access to an online self-assessment survey to help you benchmark your company’s (or your client’s) readiness regarding IP strategy.

Attendees will have access to some materials prior to the seminar (see documentation paragraph below). Approximately two hours will be required to read through and prepare.

Documentation

  • Pre-reading: contains all cases plus facts and data used during examples and teamwork assignments
  • Theory book: contains all the models and frameworks learned during the seminar
  • Practice book: contains all the practical information needed to apply the cases to the frameworks during the teamwork assignments
  • Post-reading: contains all the speaker feedback provided after teamwork assignments, plus extra insights and guidelines to best apply the frameworks to your own environment

This course is part of our collection of IP & Patents Training Courses.

Who should attend?

  • IP managers/professionals (in-house and private practice)
  • Non-IP professionals (R&D managers/directors and business managers)
  • In-house lawyers

Reviews of IPI's Strategic IP Planning training course


I liked how clear and simple a sometimes difficult and convoluted process was structured and presented. Highly recommended.

The course exceeded my expectations; I expected to be educated in concepts and theories, instead I was equipped with tools and experience! Arnaud was an enthusiastic presenter and a patient guide through the intense volume of information and challenging interactive group work. I was impressed at how applicable the content of the course was to delegates from such a variety of business sizes and markets; everyone was finding the teaching relevant to them in some way. I loved the interactive aspects of the course and enjoyed learning how to use the tools given and the 'aha!' moments when it all began to make sense. I enjoyed that the tools given didn't always have 'correct' answers but always enabled you to make and justify decisions that were aligned with the business strategy.
