COLLABORATION
CIP builds, maintains and manages networks of international leaders and experts in the field of knowledge-based business from industry, academia and public actors. These networks supports and interacts to the furthest extent possible with all activities promoted, supported, coordinated or managed by the center and the CIP platform. CIP has an industry partner program with key actors such as Philips, Ericsson and Nestlé, collaborating on multiple levels of education and research activities.
CIP is launching a new pilot program focused on Law & Technology in Practice. The interdisciplinary program will be taught by a faculty of legal professionals working in technology companies, law firms, and legaltech ventures. The goal of the program is to provide practical legal training for LLM students to better prepare them for the complexity of global business in the Digital Economy. @Caroline Pamp is the co-Faculty Director for the program that was developed in collaboration with the current LLM students at @School of Business, Economics and Law led by @Jonna Karlstedt. The program will be taught in English emphasizing an international perspective.
CIP is very happy to welcome Billy Jörgensen, Elin Enehed, Philip Idestrom, Emanuel S, Simon Fouladi to the TechLaw Faculty. The initial sessions will center the practical techlaw issues for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Services, Disruptive Technology Ventures, Biotech & Pharma, and emerging LegalTech Ventures. More information on the program sessions will follow shortly.
CIP has now completed the Business of Intellectual Property (BIP) Executive Education Program for 2024. We had a wonderful diverse group of 33 participants from over 15 firms. A big thanks to our faculty, Ruud Peters, Bowman Heiden, Maaike van Velzen, and Roberto Castagno for delivering another great program. More information on BIP 2025 schedule will be published soon. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

CIP recently welcomed 33 participants from a diverse group of technology firms to its Business of Intellectual Property Executive Education in Gothenburg. The first module, which is focused on building an IP value mindset, was led by Ruud Peters, who is the co-faculty director of the program together with Bowman Heiden. At CIP, we regard Ruud as the G.O.A.T of value-driven IP management given his enormously successful track record building the IP & Standards organization at Philips and launching many entrepreneurially IP-related ventures during his tenure. Here, in the picture, Ruud is sharing his wisdom with his classic tough-love approach. The second module will be in October, where the participants will present their home company assignment and broaden their thinking of IP from a strategic business management starting point. More to come!
We are very pleased to hear that our CIP alumnus Viktor Ström will receive the Hans Werthén Scholarship in 2024!
He is one of the six researchers awarded this year’s scholarships from the Hans Werthén Foundation, for studies and research abroad. The aim is to give young academics the opportunity to develop in other countries and return with new knowledge and experience that can be useful in industry, business or academia in Sweden.
Viktor Ström is a researcher in innovation and entrepreneurship at School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg and active in Gothenburg U-GOT KIES – Gothenburg Centre on knowledge-intensive innovation ecosystems. He is accepted as a Postdoc at the Tusher Strategic Initiative for Technology Leadership, University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business, USA. The planned research is about innovation and entrepreneurship, including research collaboration between universities and companies and the connections between acquisitions, entrepreneurship and resilience.

Big thanks to Lisa Rythén Larsson and Vink for hosting yesterday’s ICM Alumni Event in Gothenburg. The event included an interesting panel discussion on “AI Strategy—How will AI affect our business and industry in the upcoming years?” featuring views from our alumni working in different industries, including Therese Werner from Konsert, Hagberg, Jesper from AssaAbloy, and Anna Ajodan from Volvo Group.
It was wonderful to hear about the diversity of innovation activities our alumni are engaged in across many areas of technology, business, and law. The next event is proposed for Stockholm in the fall. Please contact us if you would like to host the event!
CIP Director, Bowman Heiden, recently participated in the Patents in Telecoms and IoT 2024 conference run by Robin Jacob and Lisa Penfold at University College London. Dr. Heiden spoke on the panel about EU SEP Regulation, providing a big-picture view of the role of economics in policy-making, the unique, collectively-ordered private model of SEP licensing, and why the global, collective nature of SEP licensing will likely make the proposed SEP regulation irrelevant in the IoT context.
We would like to thank all the participants for a successful CIP Roundtable 2024, in particular, our speakers Jonas Lindgren and William Mansfield for leading the discussion on IP & Sustainability and Andrew Gaule, Jard van Ingen, and Edward Bray for showing us the state-of-the-art in GenAI applied to business, technology, and IP management. We will have follow-up posts on each of their contributions shortly. Sustainability and GenAI will be the core themes that define the development of CIP activities into 2025, which will mark our 25th anniversary.
We were also happy to welcome the master’s students participating in ICM Advice and the ICM Certificate Program to meet and share their future plans with our CIP partners and advisors. With the pandemic and the changes to the ICM education, we have missed the strong interaction between the students and CIP activities in recent years, so we were excited to be able to gather everyone together this year!
Finally, we discussed CIP’s plans to grow globally through collaboration with new university and industry partners worldwide, building on our close partnership with UC-Berkeley in the U.S.
