Why it matters
For a modern pharmaceutical company\, IP is of critical importance. Monetizing IP allows the company to recoup the large investments made in R&D and regulatory approval. It rewards invention and allows investment in new technologies. The competition between companies to develop and own a high-quality IP portfolio lead to new drugs in the market. These advantages are lost if a company cannot safeguard its Intellectual Property from competitors\, or malign actors.
Who is it for
This module is relevant to all employees in the pharmaceutical industry\, especially those in legal and management..
