Do I deal with intellectual property (IP) at work? In my projects, am I using someone else’s products without adhering to IP rights? Or maybe my company and I are the creators of a work subject to IP protection?
If you are not entirely confident replying to these questions, our upcoming “Intellectual Property Challenges in Projects: Useful Tips for Risk Management” event is the right fit for you!
Join us on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, for an evening talk in Lausanne with Said Azimov, Program Officer at the IP for Business Division at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
