Biodesign Finland

Thank you Ella Mikkola for giving us an illuminating view to International IP & IP Contracts at EY. Including insightful discussion on patents and other forms of protection with our Biodesign Fellows. Our take home message was that good preparation, well timed communication and professional support are key factors in succesfull negotiations, contracts and defence of IP rights. This knowledge also comes handy in creating new IP and business opportunities. The other takeaway was to to understand that you need multidiclipinary knowledge when you face a new obstacle in the complex legal landscape.
