Valuation of trademarks patents and other intellectual property is central to any balance sheet.

You will hear about the enforcement and protection of these vital assets.

Leading practitioners will guide you through the issues of selecting the legal structures to hold IP. The value of IP can be protected by registration and assigned for development by licensing. These critical transactions will receive detailed analysis. These topics will provide all commercial legal advisors, IP, patent and trademark specialists with guidance and the experience of leading practitioners.

[I particularly liked] the generality to business and other commercialisation opportunities.

Michael D

[I particularly liked that the course] set out the landscape of the topic well before moving into the more specialised aspects, showing the breadth and potential complexity of each. Made very good suggestions regarding traps for the unwary.

Lindsay B

[Re: Lead Academic – Professor Natalie Stoianoff] Great presentation and 'setting the scene' for the subsequent facilitators. Although a legal short course, it was general enough for those who might not have legal backgrounds.
