Date & Time: March 27, 2017, 15:00-19:00

Workshop Outline
This workshop will give you an overview about how to claim and protect Intellectual Property effectively. Three talks on the first afternoon will impart the most important knowledge about IP, as well as inventor's rights and duties as a civil service employee. In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss career opportunities in IP with a patent attorney and a patent examiner from EPA in the relaxed atmosphere of a fireside chat.
On the second day, you will actively transfer your knowledge by working on a case study in teams. This case study will reflect a real-life patent infringement. By assuming a role as either patent holder, patent infringer, or jury court, you will gain first-hand experience on how patent conflicts are dealt with.
