Agenda Day 1

1:55 PM THINK TANK: A BROADER ECOSYSTEM – CRAFTING YOUR IP ENVIRONMENT FOR ENHANCED COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION

As IP departments evolve beyond traditional patent filing and portfolio management, many are beginning to build environments in which they can continue to thrive and drive forward by partnering with the likes of universities and government associations. These ecosystems allow them to leverage academic research, emerging talent, and public innovation initiatives to create a more dynamic and future-facing approach to their work. Universities can bring deep domain expertise and exploratory R&D, while government associations might help them stay abreast of the lesser-known regulations emerging – IP counsel must grasp the opportunity to forge their own symbiotic system, allowing them to accelerate innovation and strengthen competitiveness.

- Explore the ways university partnerships can fill R&D gaps and expand corporate innovation
- Discuss the value government associations can bring in supporting IP teams through funding, policy and infrastructure
- Home in on the value of aligning academic research outputs with commercial IP strategies to maximise impact
