Formats and Hours:
Self-paced modules, accumulating up to approx. 75 time with various formats, such as videos, podcasts, online exercises
The course consists of two parts (entry and advanced level), each containing five self-paced modules.
The course offers you unique opportunities to follow inventors' real-life stories, understand why and how they patent their inventions and learn how intellectual property rights (IPRs) can be integrated into business strategies. Each module is based on a carefully selected set of case studies, many of which involve inventors who have been nominated for or won the European Patent Office’s European Inventor Award.
You can independently complete the modules at your own pace.
The modules consist of high-quality videos, podcasts and interactive educational elements. These explain the theory behind new concepts and provide exercises and case studies to help learners consolidate their knowledge. There is also a multiple-choice quiz at the end of each module. In addition, a wide variety of resources are included for further study. A final exercise, marked by experts in intellectual property (IP), will serve to test your knowledge. Through a unique platform, tutored forum and interactive live sessions, you will meet different IP experts. If you complete all relevant activities, you will be awarded an official EPO certificate.
