Patent Knowledge Week 2022
Curious about the Unitary Patent? Ever wondered how patents and sustainable development are linked? Or perhaps you want to learn more about the importance of IP knowledge for SMEs and universities? Join us online from 4 to 7 October 2022 for the second edition of Patent Knowledge Week when we'll be looking into all this and more.
Who should attend?
Patent Knowledge Week caters for a wide range of audiences, from patent information specialists to newcomers from SMEs, universities, research and development, and economic research institutes. In fact, anyone looking to base future decisions on a sound understanding of patent knowledge should attend.
Why should you attend?
This year's event will help you get a better understanding of what patent data is and why and how to use it. You'll learn how to make the most of the extensive 24x7 patent information resources available. As well as bringing you the latest news and updates on the EPO's patent data and information tools and services, the event will also look at the Unitary Patent and patent analytics and visualisation, amongst other things. All this will help you generate the patent knowledge you need and use it to drive value for your organisation.
What's new?
This year's programme is designed in a modular way with no sessions running in parallel. You can attend the whole event, or select the topics, formats or levels which suit you best. You'll also be able to find out about patent databases, tools and services in the online exhibition and in exhibitor presentations.
