Forum: Intellectual Property Perspectives from a Non-Patent Attorney - Auckland
The Forum focus will be on teaching companies and individuals how to create value from ideas and new technology by commercialising it rather than spending money protecting Intellectual Property (IP) but not using it; giving a road map to convert innovation to growth.
Commercialising intellectual property (in short converting ideas and innovation into wealth) is a fundamental driver of business growth and success. Spending a large portion of new project funding protecting intellectual property without a strategy and the capability to commercialise that IP does not make business success.
This is not your standard “talk about IP” - the speaker, is a successful CEO, not a patent attorney.
The Forum will give an overview on the following:
- Really understanding what “intellectual property” actually is.
- The two fundamental models of commercialisation: manufacture and license.
- How to access global markets by leveraging intellectual property - Case Study: CrushPak – From New Zealand garage to a US national launch.
- IP protection cost control and IP attorney management.
- Negotiating licenses to valuable technology in or out of your business.
Facilitator: Paul Adams is the CEO of EverEdgeIP, Australasia’s leading intellectual property commercialisation and management firm. Paul has over twelve years of experience in technology and intellectual property commercialisation and has completed multi-million dollar technology commercialisation deals in the United States, Europe and Australasia.
Who should attend? Owners, CEOs and senior managers, and anyone wanting to understand intellectual property issues.
