HEADSTART: How to use patent knowledge to innovate

As an inventor, micro-entity, startup or university
researcher, how do you keep abreast of the latest technology developments? While some believe patents lock away knowledge, keeping it from the public - nothing could be further from the truth. Find out how you can leverage free
patent databases to succeed in your line of business.

An episode in a weekly pilot series of bite-sized podcasts designed to give inventors, startups, entrepreneurs,
and micro-entities and other businesses the tools to protect their technology with intellectual property (IP). Tune in every Friday at 9.00 am (also on YouTube (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgDlswd0__eJNXLI-BH…) & LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/european-patent-office)) to supercharge your innovation journey!

The general information in these podcasts provides
only a broad overview and is not comprehensive. It is not a substitute for legal advice specific to your own needs, nor should it be relied upon exclusively. You should consult a qualified professional (for example a European patent attorney) before taking any actions that could impact your
business.
