Are you developing a new technology, an innovative product or a solution with potential for the international market? Would you like to learn how to protect your innovation and bring it to markets beyond Serbia?
The Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Serbia, in cooperation with Science Technology Park Belgrade, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Visegrad Patent Institute (VPI), is organising a seminar entitled “Serbian Innovations in the Global Market: How to Obtain International Patent Protection?”
The seminar is intended for researchers, innovators, startups, companies, universities and scientific research organisations, patent attorneys, as well as anyone interested in learning about the possibilities of international protection of inventions and the commercialisation of innovations.
During the seminar, participants will have an opportunity to learn from international and domestic experts about:
- how the international patent system under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) works;
- the advantages of filing an international patent application;
- how to use the ePCT platform;
- how to interpret international search results and written opinions;
- how intellectual property can contribute to attracting investment, technology transfer and entering foreign markets.
A particular highlight of the programme will be a panel discussion featuring successful representatives of the scientific and business communities, together with intellectual property experts. They will share their experiences in protecting and internationalising innovations, as well as the challenges they have encountered on the journey from an idea to the global market.
The seminar agenda can be downloaded here.
Participation is free of charge, but the number of places is limited. We invite all interested participants to register and secure their place in good time.
