Course description
Intellectual property rights are the legal rights that protect the results of intellectual work. The right to patent is one of the most well-known rights; it protects inventions that are novel, non-obvious and have an industrial use. The focus of the course is to discuss various aspects of intellectual property rights that are essential to know for a future career both within and outside academia.
During the course, the participants will be able to learn from various stakeholders from the intellectual property rights industry. Topics include:
• your right to intellectual assets as a researcher in Sweden (teachers’ exception).
• how you can manage intellectual property rights in research collaborations, including other jurisdictions than Sweden.
• how publishing your research results can affect your legal possibilities to protect your results.
• how you can identify research groups to collaborate with using patent information.
• ethical considerations of patenting in relation to open science / access / innovation.
