The tri-city Certification Series is being scheduled for 18th Oct 2019 in Mumbai, 8th November in New Delhi and 15th November in Bengaluru.

Given the critical role that intellectual property (‘IP’) and intellectual property rights (‘IPR’) play in the global economy, this is an opportunity to gain insights into key aspects of taking IP and IP assets to the market. Intangible assets account for an increasingly larger share of enterprise value – driven by technology IP. This trend is accelerating with the introduction and adoption of software technologies such as AI and IoT across all industries, sectors, and geographies. Understanding these IP implications is critical to professional success in the technology industry. The Master Class covers intermediate-to-advanced IP concepts and case studies in IP monetization. Participants are expected to be aware of common IP terms, common business terms, and software/technology industry parlance.

The target audience includes technology entrepreneurs, junior to mid-senior corporate professionals, university faculty, graduate science/engineering students who seek to learn about IP valuation, IP business development, technology transfer & IP licensing, IP-based partnerships, the impact of AI, IoT and other technologies on IP management, and structuring of software licensing agreements.
