IP Training

Increase the IP-IQ of your entire organization with engaging IP training designed for non-IP professionals.
OVERVIEW

IP Training that Your Organization Will Remember

Increase the quality, frequency, and timeliness of communication with your organization on important IP matters.

Establish a culture of appreciation for IP by replacing long, tedious presentations with IP training from Executive IP, the global leader in IP training for businesses. 

Part of the Questel group, Executive IP works with IP leaders worldwide to deliver engaging IP training that people will remember. We specialize in helping companies: 

  • Refresh or enhance their corporate cultures around innovation and IP,  
  • Grow employee knowledge and awareness of patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, confidential information/NDAs, and everything in between, and 
  • Improve the internal perception of their IP departments amongst non-IP colleagues.  
     

Our training programs are especially helpful when inventors are spread among disparate geographies, and in-house IP experts are inundated with the same questions about IP.

Why You Should Consider IP Training

Did you know that IP training can help you improve the quality of invention disclosures, mitigate IP infringement risks, and motivate sales teams?

IP strategies may be decided at the top, but they are executed by everyone in your organization. Once your employees, from top to bottom, understand the fundamentals of IP and the importance of IP to your enterprise, IP awareness across your business will increase, resulting in innovative ideas, more IP assets, and improved enforcement in the marketplace.

Common triggers for IP education 

Some of the common business challenges our IP training programs are designed to address include: 

IP training, blue dot waves
Increasing the quantity/quality of invention disclosures you receive from your innovators,
Avoiding infringement risks arising from lack of knowledge/awareness about IP rights,
Motivating sales teams to showcase how IP differentiates your products and services from the competition, and
Dealing with suppliers, joint development partners, customers, any anyone else with whom you must share confidential information on a regular basis; especially when your business relies heavily on fragile trade secrets being handled by employees who “need-to-know.”
BENEFITS

Why Choose Questel for IP Training?

Avoid IP risks and missed IP opportunities with IP training from Questel. Through Executive IP, we have re-written the “laws” of corporate training for the modern workforce by replacing long, tedious, and ad-hoc presentations with more efficient and effective eLearning programs.

Before Executive IP

Traditionally, organizations provide live IP training sessions. Everyone gathers in a room (or virtual meeting) for 1-2 hours as IP experts explain basic IP concepts and your internal procedures/policies. 

Common challenges with this approach:

  • Attendance at sessions is never 100% (often below 50%, according to many of our clients), meaning most of the target audience must wait until the next session or receive no training at all.
  • Busy people quickly forget the information they’ve learned in live IP training sessions. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to continually reinforce their learning in an efficient manner via meetings alone.
  • The most valuable time spent in live training is answering questions and discussing the practical implications of the basic concepts. However, most of the time spent in live training is typically spent explaining the basic concepts.

After Executive IP

While we do not aim to replace organizational efforts to train in a live setting, we do aim to make that training more efficient and effective through:

  • Ongoing (weekly/monthly) training sessions delivered via short, engaging videos and quizzes that teach people the basic concepts.
  • Flexible eLearning programs, so your target audience can complete the training anytime, anywhere.
  • Targeted content that is curated to people based upon their functional roles. Relevancy + Brevity = high engagement.

Ongoing training ensures that thinking about IP becomes more commonplace. Your people are more likely to remember the basic concepts as they go about their day-to-day responsibilities. This is key to avoiding IP risks and leads to timely and informed discussions with the right people.

When you do hold live training sessions, your people will turn up with enough background knowledge and ready to ask questions, so you can spend more time discussing the practical implications of the basic concepts. This is a huge value-add to your live training sessions.
