About This Course

Intellectual Property Rights Management treats IP as what it has become: the dominant source of enterprise value. Six modules cover why intangible assets matter to managers, the full IP toolkit (patents, trademarks, copyright, design rights, trade secrets) and the international architecture, building an IP strategy aligned to business strategy, managing and monetizing the IP portfolio, enforcing rights and managing disputes, and the global, digital and emerging issues — AI, data and traditional knowledge — reshaping the field, closing with a capstone IP audit.
