Laser Pro Excellence Hub

Online Workshop: Intellectual Property Rights and Management Tools

As part of the LASER-PRO WP5 activities focused on skills development and strengthening technology transfer capacities,  Innovation Agency Lithuania and Central Bohemian Innovation Center (SIC) are organizing practical online workshop aimed at supporting innovators, researchers, startups, and SMEs in transforming innovative ideas and research results into successful market opportunities.

This online workshop focuses on intellectual property rights and IP management tools, providing participants with practical guidance on how to protect innovations, manage intellectual assets, and reduce legal and strategic risks connected with commercialization and innovation activities.

Intellectual property is one of the most valuable assets in innovation- and research-driven environments, yet it is often underestimated or addressed too late. The workshop will introduce participants to the fundamentals of intellectual property rights and IP management, helping them better protect innovations and use IP strategically throughout the innovation lifecycle.

Designed for startups, entrepreneurs, SMEs, researchers, and innovators seeking practical guidance rather than purely legal theory, the workshop will provide a structured overview of how to identify valuable intellectual assets, choose appropriate protection strategies, and minimize risks connected with innovation and commercialization activities.

WHEN: June 23, 13:00 CET (14:00 EEST)
WHERE: online via MS Teams.
Registration: HERE
Registration is open until June 17.
Registered participants will receive the Zoom invitation link by email.

During the workshop, attendees will learn about:

  • core principles of intellectual property rights and inventions
  • patent types and protection strategies
  • how and when to protect innovation results
  • practical use of IP databases
  • fundamentals of IP strategy and valuation
  • licensing basics and essential IP clauses in collaboration agreements
  • common IP risks in innovation projects and how to avoid them

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A discussion.

The workshop will be led by Greta Žėkienė, Head of Intellectual Property Management at Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. Greta has extensive practical experience in intellectual property protection, commercialization, patenting, licensing, contract drafting, and IP strategy development within research and innovation projects. She also advises innovation teams and startups on IP management and commercialization pathways.
