We prioritise entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises that develop innovative products and services and/or have little or no previous experience of protecting intellectual property.
Our services complement the specialised IPR services offered by commercial providers. We help you to:
- Understand the IPR system: Gain insight into the options available to protect and leverage your intellectual assets in Norway and internationally. Get an overview of the organisations and services that can meet your IPR needs.
- Assess your IPR status: Use tools to map your own intellectual assets and your competitors’ rights. Draw inspiration from other people’s inventions and gain an overview of rights that may restrict your freedom to operate.
- Build value through IPR: Get advice on how to use IPR to create, protect, leverage and demonstrate value in your company. Learn how to use IPR strategically to strengthen your company's competitiveness.
For innovative companies, ideas, solutions, know-how and identity are often your most important resources, but also your most vulnerable. We recommend the course Introduction to IPR, which gives you the knowledge to identify, protect and strategically leverage your intellectual property (IP).
