Intellectual property rights (IPR) are important factors in our modern innovation-driven economy. The technological value added can be secured by IPRs. The seminar will give an overview on IPRs that may arise from research and development activities of startup companies or academic institutions, but also from private persons or industrial activities. What are patent, trademark or design rights? How do I know if a technology is patent protected or can become an exclusive asset? Software, artificial intelligence and the metaverse are addressed. What are my obligations as student, inventor, employee, employer, or entrepreneur? Those questions will be addressed and dos and don'ts for inventors discussed.
Tobias studied physics at the Universities of Dortmund, Hamburg and Gothenburg and received his Ph.D. from Hamburg University in the field of electronic transport through nanostructures He has been active in the field of intellectual property for more than 20 years.
Tobias advises clients ranging from start-ups and SMEs to major international corporations on strategic matters relating to their intellectual property and on procedural issues before the patent offices and courts. In particular, he deals with cases from the automotive sector, plastics technology, software-supported automation, medical technology and nanotechnology. Tobias is also a specialist in dealing with issues relating to artificial intelligence methods for computer-implemented inventions ("software inventions").
Tobias Kleimann holds seminars on these topics at universities in Germany and abroad and is involved in the mentoring program of the German Physical Society.
