What our participants say

  • Stephan Ising, Expert IP Strategy & Research, Thyssenkrupp Intellectual Property GmbH (Germany): 'Evaluating IP portfolios and meeting budget restrictions can be challenging, especially during organizational changes. DIPS tools help to provide deep insights in IP goals, to focus on areas where to invest with value-add, and to communicate them within the organization. Patentopolis workshop is a perfect event to learn a useful methodology (DIPS) and apply it immediately in interactive cases.'
  • Morné Barradas, Senior Manager Intellectual Property, Sasol (South Africa): 'IP can be seen as delaying R&D projects, because clearly demonstrating how IP aligns with business strategy can be challenging. DIPS toolbox enables this; it gives a simple yet practical framework to help translate technobusiness drivers into IP strategy options and continuously monitor alignment between IP and project objectives. DIPS workflows also help to measure (mis)alignment and to show it.'

Testimonials

9 January 2017
'This 2.5-day course on IP strategy is an important milestone for me and my company. The tools provided during this extensive course will allow me to apply the methodology DIPS of Patentopolis in IP strategy project for my company. I will recommend this course mainly to IP managers having limited IP experience with strategy-making. It gives a lot of materials on the methodology DIPS and also an opportunity for data crunching, which is exactly what I was looking for.'

Rimma Pugatsch Shendelzon, IP Manager

Landa Corporation (Israel)

10 January 2017
'IP strategy is essential for business success, and I don’t want to rely on just gut feeling or hope as a strategy. Therefore, it makes sense to follow an effective methodology like DIPS of Patentopolis, since this is a well-structured, clear and logical approach. Highly recommended!'

Dr. Markus Glänzel, Director IP Management

Evonik Nutrition & Care (Germany)

'What I liked the most from this 2.5-day course on IP strategy is the methodology DIPS for strategy making since it is very practical. This Patentopolis methodology gives a path to follow where to start, as well as how to analyse data and interact with other functions during the planning phase and after.'

'There is a real need for many companies to get a structured approach to IP strategy. That’s exactly what Patentopolis course on IP strategy offers'

'Patentopolis course on IP strategy was up to my expectations and as defined during the first hour of the course. The DIPS® matrix and methodology is a very powerful toolkit, which helps to visualize how to capture value and where to invest budget and resources in areas which are relevant to the company. At the same time, it is a simple tool which can be practically implemented in my company and is effective for conveying relevant IAM aspects to managers. I very much enjoyed the course and particularly its hands-on exercise approach. Thanks to the course, I have now a more realistic view of what IP strategy is.'

Eugenio Souto Pampín, European Patent Attorney

IMEC (Belgium)

'I attended the Patentopolis strategy seminar 18 months ago and found the content very interesting and important. I have started IP-strategy discussions with several clients and we started corresponding projects. My experience is that it takes a ‘change of mindset’ for IP-Managers and CTOs/CEOs of SMEs to discuss on the IP strategy level. The insight I got from the Patentopolis seminar helped me to keep the discussions with the clients on track. Also, the projects with the clients helped me to improve the understanding of what they really need. Still, it takes a lot of time and patience to reach the goal of such strategy projects in SMEs. In that process, Patentopolis strategy seminar and tools are unique and I learnt a lot there to get to a practical useful end.'
