DESCRIPTION:IGE. IPI Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property & Sw
 issCompanyMaker\nIntellectual property acts as a catalyst for the success 
 of startup companies. In particular\, owning patents facilitates the acces
 s to capital mostly from venture capitalists. A study from Harvard and New
  York Universities shows that startups with patents create more jobs\, enj
 oy higher sales growth\, innovate more\, and are more likely to go public 
 of be acquired. Thus the knowledge of the basics of the intellectual prope
 rty system is indispensable for scientists aiming in starting their own co
 mpany. This workshop will introduce you to the world of IP protection and 
 the does and don’ts of managing your most vital company assets\, the int
 ellectual property. Furthermore\, this introduction will be an indispensab
 le preparation for the SwissCompanyMaker workshop.\n\nThis workshop organi
 zed by the SwissCompanyMaker consortium will take place on January 29\, 2
 018 at the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property\, Bern.\nInfos: ht
