Training courses & Webinars:
IP & Patents

Whether you are looking to get to grips with the latest processes and procedures, draft effective agreements or simply keep abreast of latest legislation and developments, Management Forum offers a wide range of IP training courses, presented both as public or in-house events to fulfil your patenting and intellectual property training needs.

Whilst the world’s national IP laws have become more consistent over recent years, the world of intellectual property is still a complex area. In order to legally and efficiently protect and exploit IP rights to the best advantage it is paramount that businesses stay abreast of latest developments and best practice.

“I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to find out more about Patents and IP, speaker was great and the slides were really informative. I wanted to get an understanding of patents and IP as I have just joined a new team and needed to expand my knowledge. I feel that speaker did this through her teaching—was very knowledgeable about patents and IP, she was very good at asking if anyone had questions and answering any that had come up. She made the course easy to follow and explained in great details about each part which covered both new learners and people who have more experience.”

Sophie Collins, Trainee Formalities Officer, DIPR

“I was hoping to gain a deeper insight on how other Attorneys and Lawyers pursue Due Diligence and FTO.. it was pretty much perfect, and certainly lived up to my expectations. I thought the speakers provided great variety, informative and clear. They also tailored the presentation to the people who attended, and very patient, and open to answering a wide range of questions. Overall, it was a great day- insightful and highly engaging. I recommend attending the face-to-face session, as it was well tailored to the audience.”
