Dublin IP and R&D Summit - 22nd and 23rd of March 2022

The Dublin IP and R&D Summit has grown to become a 2 day Intellectual Property and R&D Conference and Expo. For the 2nd edition running, we are proud to be partnering with headline sponsor Enterprise Ireland, the government body responsible for innovation in the region, with a 3,500+ strong membership of IP owners including Start ups, SMEs and Corporates.

 

The summit was split into two parts, starting with a full day IP Commercialisation Workshop delivered by our strategic partners Mathys & Squire Consulting Ltd on the 22nd of March 2022. This workshop was aimed at In-House and IP Owners. This was followed by an interactive IP and R&D Conference on the 23rd of March, consisting of two streams of discussions looking at the most contemporary trends in the world of innovation. The conference was held in the heart of Dublin at the Convention Centre.

 

With over 150 participants across both days throughout the entire day, the chosen experts discussed various topics, including:

 

  • From a Pawn to a King using IP! Why IP strategy is key in taking your business to the next level.

 

  • A Sea of Thieves - Best practices in shielding your hard and soft IP

Dublin IP and R&D Summit - 15th to 17th of October 2019 

The first Dublin IP and R&D Summit was a 1 day interactive IP and R&D conference and expo focusing on discussions on the most contemporary trends in the worlds of Intellectual Property and Research and Development. We were proud to welcome Enterprise Ireland as a strategic partner, the government body supporting innovation and business development uniting over 3500 IP owners. 

 

With over 100 participants throughout the entire day, the chosen experts discussed various topics, including:

 

  • The importance of IP in fast-growing companies (where to start with patents, trademarks copyright and design; IP licensing for business development; Intangible Assets: value drivers for competitive advantage and economic development) 

 

  • IP in scaling strategies and rising investments (global vs local strategy in IP protection, how can SMEs protect their IP, market, timing and costs) 

 

  • IP valuation models and IP as an asset class (product sales vs licensing; investor economics; IP as revenue and investment generator) 

 

  • SMEs - what to patent, what not to patent? (patent strategy vs market strategy; trade-secrets and know&how as an alternative to patents; AI and Blockchain for future IP strategies) 

 

  • Cross-functional integration of R&D and IP strategy 

 

  • IP in Ireland, Europe and the rest of the world (the rise of the intangible economy; challenges and opportunities especially with Enterprise Ireland's IP Strategy, Irish Knowledge Development Box and others)
