Workshop for members of Digital Life Norway (DLN) projects. We highly recommend that more than one person from each research project signs up, so you can get advice on your IP strategy, and have good discussions on what you have learned and continue the work on your strategy when you are back at your office. Limited number of places for the hands-on part. The talks are streamed and can be watched from another conference room in Oslo Science Park with other DLN researchers. Researchers who are not affiliated with DLN projects, may sign up, and will get a place if we have spare places.
Registration form workshop and preceding lunch
Register today to give us time to select cases that are relevant for your research and order the appropriate amount of food. You may also sign up to watch streaming of the talks online.
About the workshop
This workshop is a follow-up on the know-how webinars on IPR in digital biotech spring 2021. As we wrote when we launched the webinars in collaboration with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO) IPR in digital biotech is a challenging field that has not been extensively addressed yet, but is important to explore since some IP decisions should be made early.

We hope that the webinars have given you the basics on IPR. But how do you really get started on your IP work and make strategic decisions on what to protect, why, how, where and when?
In this workshop you will learn about strategic thinking and IPR in research projects, such as whether and when to file a patent application, depending on the circumstances and project timelines. What scope of protection should you aim at, i.e. how narrow or wide should the initial patent be in relation to further patenting, ongoing research and enforceability? We will address IPR and the advantages of keeping a level of secrecy during the various phases of a commercialisation process, and what needs to be in place to make your invention attractive to investors.
We have invited Onsagers to talk about IP strategy, and its relevance with regard to succeeding with your commercialisation, including aspects such as patent life cycle management, relevance of timing, relevance of scope, etc. and also touching into what investors and potential partners may be looking for.
A successful strategy is an informed strategy. The Norwegian Industrial Property Office (NIPO) will give and introduction to what information can be gathered from the patent literature. There is and increasing amount of publications within healthcare and life science. In the patent literature you may find information useful in the different commercialisation phases. NIPO will provide the tools to get you started.
We also want you to meet with Onsagers and NIPO face to face to get some hands-on practice using cases or get some free advice on your own IPR strategy.
