Intellectual Property (IP) is a company asset and should be managed as such. However, your organization may have limited resources or no in-house IP expertise readily available. To address that gap, Carleton University created a certificate in Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy in partnership with the Office of the Vice-President Research and Industry and Partnerships Services (IPS), Sprott School of Business Professional & Executive Education Unit, Stratford Intellectual Property, and the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) agency of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
This program allows participants to gain valuable insight, apply hands-on strategies, and network with fellow participants and practitioners. Whether they are new to the field or an experienced intellectual property professional, this program offers everything they need to develop a customized IP strategy to increase the value of their business.
“As an engineer and executive, I always felt a gap in my understanding of IP and how to strategize our IP portfolio. Through this course, I learnt about differnt types of IP, how to manage IP, how to strategize, IP budget and many other aspects. I strongly reccomend it to anyone involved in managing an IP portfolio. Many thanks to Stratford Academy and Carlton University for arranging this exciting course and for the excellent teaching!” Sadegh Farzaneh – President, Galtronics Canada LTD.
