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.

Ole Martin Korsen, Patent Administrator, Bryn Aarflot A/S

Very good! Definitely worth going! The speakers were awesome. I learned a lot about the latest developments in IP practice and was happy to meet other patent administrators from different countries.

I was hoping to get more acquainted with US practices in particular, and I did thank to a very detailed presentation. The other presentations were also very interesting and instructive for me. I did not know much about the Unitary Patent but now I can say I do.
