Intellectual property (IP) is a form of legal protection designed to encourage innovation and creativity by giving creators and inventors exclusive rights to their creations or inventions. Overall, the purpose of intellectual property is to strike a balance between protecting the rights of creators and inventors and advancing the public interest by ensuring that ideas and innovations are available for use and development by others in society. In the subject, students will learn how to proceed with drafting and submitting patent applications, registering trademarks and assigning copyrights, and conducting legal research and analysis related to intellectual property. Overall, the intellectual property management course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive and multidisciplinary understanding of the legal, ethical, economic and social dimensions of intellectual property and to prepare them for situations where they will have to optimize these activities in relation to IP in the real conditions of the design and development of medical devices.
