IP Masterclass

The IP Masterclass is a new course developed by the Intellectual Property Office in partnership with Coventry University and the British Library.

The IP Masterclass provides students with the skills to conduct an IP health check, and gain a thorough understanding of patents, licensing, trade marks, copyright, brand identity and IP valuation. The course also offers delegates the opportunity to increase and refine their skills in licensing, patent and trade mark database searches to a professional standard.

Accredited by Coventry University and supported by both of the IP professional bodies, the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys and the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys, this 2½ day specialist course enables delegates to develop a detailed understanding of intellectual property and its relationship with business, culture and the economy, as well as sound practical skills they can apply to a business environment.

The course offer delegates the opportunity to gain 15 credits at Post-Graduate level; the course has been quality assured by Coventry University and is recognition that delegates have passed the course. It can be used as most CPD courses and may enable delegates to substitute a module in further HEI qualifications, for example, as part of a MBA.

The cost of the course is £1400 per delegate (plus VAT); the next IP Masterclass is due to be held at a venue in Central London in November 2010. If you are interested in reserving a place or for further information on course content, additional dates/ locations and costs please contact:
