“No-Patent Strategy” – Opportunities and Risks of Alternative Protection Strategies

You plan to protect and use your invention without getting a patent. You want to protect and sell your product without registering your brand or design. What options are available? How are these implemented? It is important to protect intellectual property. This is usually done through patents, trademarks, designs and copyright. But there are alternatives to securing your IP without obtaining intellectual property rights. What are the benefits and risks of an alternative approach? What products does it suit and where are its limitations? In this workshop we want to explore these issues. After introductory remarks, experts present cases from their practices and answer your questions.
