The journey from a promising patent idea to a successful commercial application can be a challenging yet rewarding path. So how do you navigate it? 😯 In this session, we’ll dive into the intricacies of IP protection and valorization strategies through the lens of three key perspectives: the patent attorney, the entrepreneur, and the researcher. 💡 Joining us in the panel led by Roel Meulepas are Laurens Brocken (patent attorney at Arnold & Siedsma), Mateo Mayer (co-founder aqa.earth), and Michel Saakes (scientific project leader at Wetsus, European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology). Using real-world case studies, they aim to answer two pivotal questions: “What makes a strong patent idea?” and “How can patents drive business growth?” 🎟 Get your ticket for the Team Up Day: https://lnkd.in/eV3E8UpC Esther Rodijk-Rozeboom | Nico Nijenhuis | Maurits J.M.

The enhancement in both the quantity and quality of recognized intellectual property demonstrates significant growth potential in allied industries. Recent government initiatives appear to have yielded positive outcomes in the Indian IP ecosystem. The next step involves making the framework more dynamic to foster innovation and address complex IP-related legal challenges in areas such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and biotechnology inventions. Although the data presents an encouraging narrative, efforts are needed to ensure the regulatory framework is more accommodative and contemporary. Thoughts?
