New e-learning modules
|
|
The EUIPO and MARQUES have developed two new e-learning modules within the framework of the ECP3 Academy Learning Portal cooperation project
|
|
The modules are: According to EUIPO, following completion of the modules, users will be able to: - Identify and consider an IP strategy linked with a business strategy;
- Understand what a licensing agreement is and what types of licence exist;
- Understand how to create an additional income through licensing;
- Identify the pitfalls;
- Negotiate a licence agreement.
The new modules include videos and quizzes and they target users with a basic to intermediate level of intellectual property knowledge. After successfully completing the final quiz, a certificate of completion can be downloaded. Following a call for speakers in August 2019, MARQUES forwarded two nominations and, together with the EUIPO project team, they developed the content of the new e-learning modules. An implementation workshop took place in November 2019 and both modules were recorded at the EUIPO. More information can be found in the EUIPO Academy Learning Portal.
