In the course of the lectures, it has been pointed out how important it is to protect innovations by different IP rights, in particular those in the key phases of development, especially bearing in mind that they could represent significant asset for the attraction of innovations, further development or later sale or licensing. Bearing in mind that the participants came from business companies in early phase of development or from those working on development projects, the purpose of IP protection has been represented along with the conditions for the protection by various rights.
