Managing IPR in public procurement
21 February 2023
12PM to 13.15PM CET
Grab your lunch and join us for an exciting talk on: Striking the balance - how can IPR be managed to achieve the best outcomes for the buyer, the provider and society?
Organised by Gaynor Whyles from JERA Consulting, this is our 9th iProcureNet Webinar and the first of our 2023 series. This webinar will concentrate on Intellectual Property (IP) in public procurement.
Firstly, IP is not only a property right, but it has a personal dimension (moral rights). Secondly, differently from the tangible property, intellectual property allows parallel exploitation. It means that several entities can use the same knowledge simultaneously.
This webinar will address the main IP concepts and place them within the public procurement framework. Attention is given to the exploitation of IP owned by the state. Find out more about our very special talk from Professor Aleksei Kelli below.
The webinar is free for professionals, academics and practitioners. All stakeholders involved in public procurement, innovation and IP management are welcome to attend and take part in our discussions. Don’t forget to register to receive the invitation.
This webinar will be recorded and published on social media, including Youtube.
