Short lunch sessions on innovation - exploring how ideas and results can be taken into use, application and real-world impact.
Session #1 Understanding Intellectual Property and protect your ideas
You conduct your research during paid working hours, but the university does not own your research results – you do. But what happens when you want to explore new applications and create broader benefits for society? For example, by developing methods and tools that support inclusion in workplaces, creating new sustainable materials, or smart solutions in healthcare.
There are numerous opportunities to explore.
In this session, Johan Nordlund, Lawyer at Innovation Office, provides an introduction to intellectual property (IP). What do you as a doctoral student or researcher need to know to avoid common pitfalls and make informed decisions from the start? Johan will guide you through the basics. And if you have follow-up questions after regarding your research, you can also book a meeting with him on site.
Johan Nordlund previously worked at the Swedish Intellectual Property Office (PRV) and has since 2020 been supporting researchers and doctoral students at the Innovation Office in navigating the sometimes complex landscape of intellectual property. From agreements to patents – no question is too big or too small.
