Advanced IP Licensing Academy

Licensing is one of the fastest growing businesses.

New industries and new business models continue to be developed, while some more traditional models are also renewed with new ideas and regulatory developments. The Advanced IP Licensing Academy program is targeted to practitioners and academics with a focus on the latest developments and the hottest trends in the licensing world. The Academy will give a broad overview about licensing business models. The working method is focused on dialogue – we will have a number of interesting panels, discussions and keynotes. We are presenting both well-known speakers and rising stars, experienced practitioners and fresh thinkers. The combination will allow the participants to gain a very broad coverage of multiple topics, and an in-depth view of key questions.
