Intellectual Property (IP) law has been the mainstay of our short course content. But we recognise the importance of IP management as an ‘enterprise skill’ which sits alongside an understanding of finance, accounting, valuation, taxation, corporate governance, company secretaryship, licence negotiation, economics, policy making, marketing and employment issues.
We continue to add to our short course ‘menu’, in line with statutory and industry demands. Tailored course content to meet client needs is a feature of CIPPM short course delivery.
