The Masterclass program is specifically designed to help METS companies obtain a working knowledge of IP and how it can enhance their business performance both in Australia and in international markets.

 

This masterclass has been developed by METS Ignited together with the Dennemeyer Group.

Intellectual Property Masterclass

Why would you need to protect your IP?

  • To protect your ideas from being copied
  • To protect your competitive position and product/service differentiation
  • To protect your investment in technology
  • To protect new revenue streams – now and into the future
  • To protect the ability to more easily licensed your technology to third parties
  • IP is critical to protect your innovation
  • IP can enhance your company value
  • IP can support your businesses to obtain financing
Starting with an introductory self–paced course (IP Basics) to enable participants to understand the basics of IP protection and the role of IP in their organisation, the Masterclass program is then delivered online in 3 x 2-hour sessions over two weeks. The Masterclass is followed by an additional one-on-one session with the facilitators to raise confidential IP-related questions, issues and comments relating to their operations.

Participants should allow about 3 hours to complete the introductory IP Basics course which includes reflective exercises. This course is a pre-requisite to undertaking the IP Masterclass.

IP Basics

Self-paced online introductory course that:

  • provides participants with a broad introduction to the concepts of IP and its creation, protection, and management
  • establishes a sound foundation for the IP protection and management concepts covered in the IP Masterclass program
  • gives examples of patents, trademarks and registered designs relevant to the METS Industry.

Through carefully selected quizzes and reflective exercises, participants are encouraged to understand the role of IP in their business, and rather than simply a legal protection mechanism, but how it can be used to develop and maintain competitive advantage.

Session 1

IP Basics Course Refresher

Module 1: Protection of IP - the key objective is to investigate how best to protect creative efforts and maximise value for the company.

Module 2: Development of IP - looks at the potential IP lifecycle from concept to commercialisation, options for the development of IP and the IP implications of each approach.

3

Session 2

Module 3: IP Strategy and Portfolio Management - takes a wider strategic view and delves into the importance of ensuring your IP strategy is consistent with and is related to other key strategies – technology, business, operational, marketing, HR and the like.

Module 4: Commercialisation of IP - applying or transferring your IP and related technology to another party where benefits can be shared.

4

Session 3

Module 5: Licensing - the perspectives of both the technology owner (Licensor) and technology user (Licensee) are addressed as ultimately any successful licensing deal requires a “win/win” scenario.

Module 6: IP for International Markets - pulls together many of the concepts presented in earlier modules and applies these for the benefit of companies considering entering international markets. International Market Entry options are explored, and particularly from the perspectives of Return, Risk, and Control.

"Wrap-Up" module: Addresses some of the more general questions participants should consider in their own workplaces upon completion of the Masterclass. Contains lists and links to IP Masterclass reference materials, as well as where participants can look for further information where required.

One-On-One Sessions

Each participant will have the opportunity of a one-on-one discussion session with the masterclass presenters approximately 1 to 2 weeks after the final Module.
Participants will be able to raise on a confidential basis any IP issues relevant to their own company that they did not wish to address in the open forum and discussions throughout the masterclass.
