Understanding IP!

Skills acquisition for successful utilisation of intellectual property

The protection of intangible assets is becoming of greater significance in an ever increasing digital world. Whether in a start-up, spin-off, large enterprise, as a photographer or software engineer - intellectual property arises everywhere, which needs to be secured and defended by corresponding protection rights to also make innovations economically successful. Nevertheless, you need IP skills to successfully handle IP (Intellectual Property), to strategically use intellectual property and for the targeted transfer of knowledge.

Which institutions provide further education on IP skills and at what point should skills for the use of property rights and utilisation strategies be acquired? While studying, beforehand or only when founding a spin-off or a start-up? The panel discussion on 02/01/2022, organised by the NCP-IP, looked at these questions and also highlighted the matter of strategic support from universities and research facilities in the further development of IP skills.

  • Mag. Karin Dögl, Technology Transfer Team Lead, BOKU

  • Prof. Michael Kraxner, CTO and Head of Research & Development, MCI - The Entrepreneurial School
