IYCN Workshop: Management of Science and Innovation

This workshop was organized by the International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN), with support from IUPAC, and provides guidance and advice on the management of intellectual property rights, how to protect your product/technology/innovation by patenting (e.g., how to fill in a patent application, what is patentable, etc.), and how to manage R&D innovation for fostering knowledge/product/technology transfer and commercialization. We will hear from Dr. Christine Dunne (Patent Agent at Cooley LLP, Boston, USA) and Dr. Sonja Hatz (Senior Innovation Manager, Organisational and Portfolio Innovation, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) who will share their career paths and experience and expertise on the topic.
