Intellectual property

Description: In terms of intellectual property, the objective of this course is to become familiar with patent documents and the different types of patents. We will look at the various types of intellectual property rights (trademarks, patents, designs and copyright) that an entrepreneur can use to protect their innovations. In the part related to innovation management, the focus will be on defining and classifying innovation, and identifying the entrepreneurial and societal challenges associated with it. We will introduce the concepts of design thinking and examine the roles of the various stakeholders in innovation processes.

Learning outcomes: By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • identify which intellectual property rights can be used to protect innovations, identify which innovations that are likely to be patentable, examine a patent and understand its key elements, and follow a conversation with an intellectual property expert in order to make informed decisions.
  • use appropriate terminology to define innovation and describe its key challenges, carry out a SWOT analysis, and identify the barriers and drivers in an innovation management process.
