The Business of Intellectual Property – Registration open now!

The registration for CIP’s exclusive executive education program, The Business of Intellectual Property, is now open for 2025. The program takes place in two 3-day modules on June 16-18 and Sep. 1-3 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Participants in the program are primarily from our CIP Partner firms, but each year we reserve 5 open places for companies that are interested to raise the level of their IP management from a strategic business perspective.

The co-faculty directors for the program are Ruud Peters and Bowman Heiden with over 60 years of combined experience working with industry to develop business-driven IP organizations, strategies, and operations that are focused on creating business value as the North Star. The program is taught in our “patented” tough-love approach designed to instigate meaningful development that greatly increases the value and importance of IP in your company.

Warsaw SEP Conference

CIP Director, Bowman Heiden, participated in the Warsaw SEP Conference on Regulatory and Enforcement Developments for Standard Essential Patents on March 6th. His panel session was focused on Assessing policy and legislative efforts related to SEPs, where he provided his views on how SEP-enabled markets are already highly regulated by collective private action, where remaining inefficiencies are best addressed by further innovative market actions as opposed to a heavy governmental regulatory regime. He was joined on his panel by Taraneh Maghame, Rudi Bekkers, Robert Pocknell, Josef Drexl, and moderated by Corin Gittinger.
