Are you working on new technologies? And are you overflowing with new ideas? Great! Then you will want to know how to validate and protect those technologies and ideas even better. You will find out this and more during this workshop organized by Octrooicentrum Nederland on Wednesday October 23 at Mikrocentrum in Veldhoven. Register quickly because the number of participants is limited.

During the workshop, Intellectual Property advisors Twan Uijttewaal and Katja Apelt of Octrooicentrum Nederland will give you useful tools. For example, you will learn with which intellectual property rights (or: IP rights) you protect innovations.

Finally, Toine Ketelaars, Director Intellectual Property at Vanderlande, talks about identifying new ideas. How do you decide to protect them with IP rights? And how do you do that? You will learn step by step how to get inspiration from patent literature and how to use this literature to validate your own invention.
