23-24 November 2023 | Vienna, Austria

On Nov 23 and Nov 24, the event “Succeeding at technology commercialization and negotiation”, co-organized by LES Austria, LES Czech Republic & Slovakia and LES Hungary, took place in Vienna at the premises of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien). The core of the event was the Advanced Commercialisation Course developed by LESI and the EPO Patent Academy.

75 people from all over Europe followed the lectures from renowned experts to themes such as IP strategy, IP management, licensing and negotiation issues, IP assessment and IP valuation. The final part of the course was the IP negotiation masterclass, a kind of licensing mock negotiation which most of the participants of the event also attended.

The event was complemented by two networking evenings: a pre-networking dinner at Stadtwirt the day before the event started and networking buffet and drinks on the evening of the first day.

Excellent feedback of participants to the event motivates the national groups of LES Austria, LES Czech Republic & Slovakia and LES Hungary to continue in organizing joint events in the next years.
