The art of aligning your commercialization & intellectual property strategies

Managing intellectual property in a context of collaborative innovation can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Join us for an insightful webinar that delves into the world of collaborative research and development (R&D) and intellectual property (IP).

Jim Prendergast, PEng, Commercialization Specialist at the Southern Ontario Network for Advanced Manufacturing Innovation (SONAMI) and Jerome Lafreniere, Director, IP at NGen, will discuss the key considerations leading to successful commercialization of your IP.

Key topics we will cover:

  • Why should I collaborate on R&D?
  • What are good practices for managing IP used or created during a collaborative project?
  • Who should have access to IP arising from a collaborative project?
  • How can I multiply the benefits of an R&D Investment?

Come with your questions about commercialization and intellectual property, we look forward to meeting you.
