Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation


Intellectual property Rights Management
Module:Innovation Management, Semester 1
ECTS: 3
Course learning outcomes: •Equip students with state-of-the-art knowledge and best practices needed to successfully design and implement intellectual property (IP) strategies in entrepreneurial and established technology-driven corporate contexts;
•Understand the different types of IP, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks and design rights, as well as how firms choose between formal IP rights, and alternative protection methods such as trade secrets and defensive publications; 
•Design defensive and offensive IP strategies to ensure freedom-to-operate and to maximize value appropriation from your innovations;
•Familiarize with effective IP strategies taking into account technology life cycle dynamics and differences in IPR environments, and illustrate patent searching as a tool of competitive intelligence;
•Discuss collaborative and open intellectual property strategies.
Description: This course provides a helicopter tour of the economics and management of intellectual property rights and patenting. The objective of the course is to offer students an overview and understanding of some of the most topical and relevant (from a business and policy perspective) topics surrounding innovation and intellectual property. The course covers in particular recent events related to intellectual property, such as the debates on software patents, gene patenting, patent litigation, and standard essential patents. It also introduces students to other intellectual property rights, including trademarks, copyright, and design rights. The course material varies substantially across topics; it is both theoretical and empirical and cuts across a number of disciplines, including management, economics and law.
Organization:Throughout the course the case study method is used complemented by lectures and plenary discussions. Students should come to class having individually read the cases mentioned in the course syllabus. Students can use the preparatory questions to guide their individual reading of the cases. No case reports are required. There will be a permanent evaluation of class participation (case and plenary discussions).
