TRAINING IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW FOR PROFESSIONALS AND NEWCOMERS Intellectual property refers to the claim of ownership on ideas, drafts, inventions such as technical developments, logos and designs; simply put – creations of the human intellect.
As these innovations have often been created at great expense, development engineers, businesses and research institutes, for example, should protect the results of their work against misuse by registering their Intellectual Property (IP). This subject area comprises five different fields, namely trademark, patent, utility model, design and competition law. Remaining up to date in all these fields is a comprehensive task. IP for IP GmbH has specialised in further training on the protection of IP and offers classroom, on-site and online courses on these subjects. It also advises on efficient workflows in patent-law offices and patent and trademark departments in companies, and in addition, provides correspondence 62 |

career changers such as patent law clerks and candidates and formalities officers. IP for IP GmbH courses are also adapted for legal specialists, training them on the current jurisdiction in the subject areas of patent, utility model, design and trademark law in advanced, flexible and adaptable seminars.
Director Monika Huppertz knows about the challenges associated with legal issues relating to IP from her own practical experiences. The content of the seminars is therefore highly practical. “As I have worked in this area for many years, I have a well-founded understanding of the respective issues. I want to make the participants aware that they are not dealing with dry theory but that this legal field is dynamic and multi-layered.” The complexity and dynamic, however, often makes it difficult to navigate the subject area. In this regard, the training offered by Ms Huppertz and her team is a great introduction to IP, particularly for newcomers and
With IP for IP, Ms Huppertz, who sits on the board of examiners for patent law clerks and who also prepares the candidates for this examination, offers flexible, practical, personal and well-organised training on IP. She emphasises: “Next to expertise and practical relevance I also focus on personal contact. The speakers and myself are available for technical questions even after the courses. Once a year we also organise the PAFA conference, which brings formalities officers up to date with current developments. This year it’s going to take place in November. We are looking forward to many participants and interesting talks.”
