CIP has now launched the CIPO Academy to take IP management to the next level. The signature program is the Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) in Strategic IP Management, run in partnership with UC-Berkeley. The ALP is a capacity development program designed for senior or aspiring IP managers in technology or industrial-based companies who aim to elevate their roles and organizations to the corporate executive level. The program is delivered over a one-year period through a focused mentoring process that seeks to evaluate the current IP impact on business value, reframe the potential impact, and develop and implement new individual and organizational goals. The ALP is part of the CIPO Academy at CIP and UC Berkeley, taught by Ruud Peters, Bowman Heiden, and affiliated faculty mentors.
