Join us at Food Matters Live Rotterdam
Join us at Food Matters Live Rotterdam for an exclusive experience at our NPD Discovery Roundtables.
Our roundtable topics include:
Turning Innovation into Asset – IP Strategy as a Business Tool -
Join industry professionals and IP experts for an open discussion on key issues that innovators face today: Should you patent your idea, or keep it secret? How do you decide what’s worth protecting and when? How can a strong IP strategy help you attract investors, forge partnerships, or unlock new revenue streams?
Innovative Partnerships: How to Co-Innovate without Conflict -
This interactive round table explores how to balance collaboration and protection in industry partnerships. We will look at how innovative partnerships can strive, while still keeping the individual interests safeguarded, how to co-create successfully while managing the risks of IP leakage, idea misappropriation, or contractual missteps.
Hosts:
- Wannes Weymiens, European Patent Attorney, Associate Partner - NLO
- Bregje van Lieshout, European Trademark and Design Attorney - NLO
- Sharina Ibrahim, Dutch and European Patent Attorney - NLO
