This seminar is part of the IPR Summer School 2021. It is open for everyone and free of charge. 

The case clinic examines the protection of designs from a legal and strategic perspective. After an introductory lecture and presentation of the case, the topic will be examined from different viewpoints in smaller groups led by facilitators and then discussed jointly among all participants. Through these discussions, guided by experienced experts in the field, the participants gain valuable insights on the protection, licensing and enforcement of designs in the EU and beyond.

The case clinic is organized with Suomen Teollisoikeudellinen Yhdistys ry. (www.sty.net) and Suomen AIPPI (https://www.aippi.fi/). The event is free of charge and open to anyone interested but requires prior registration. Participants are requested to familiarize themselves in advance with case materials that will be made available on 28 May 2021 on the event’s web page.
