This event is official launch of the translated and customized versions of two key resources from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO): Enterprising Ideas: An Introduction to Intellectual Property (IP) for Startups and the WIPO IP Diagnostics Tool.
This event seeks to emphasize the vital role of IP in the broader startup ecosystem, demonstrating how these tools can assist startups in identifying, managing and strategically leveraging their IP assets to drive business growth. The guide’s inclusion of practical insights and success stories is expected to encourage the broader startup community to effectively use IP in their ventures.
Participants will also have the chance to engage in one-on-one sessions with IP experts, allowing them to explore relevant IP rights and receive tailored guidance.
