What is Fundamentals?
Fundamentals--the introductory course in the LES Professional Development Series--provides an intensive 31/2 -day classroom experience in best practices through four main components:
101: The Basics of Intellectual Property and Licensing
102: Filling and Managing the Portfolio
103: The Deal
104: Living with the Deal
The Fundamentals curriculum was developed by LES members who are expert practitioners in the field. Taught by a select faculty drawn from the LES membership, the instructional format is based on sound principles of adult learning: Question-and-answer and lecture sessions, small group activities, and opportunities to analyze and solve real-world problems.
To ensure an appropriate level of interaction, class size is limited to 70 students.
Who should take Fundamentals?
Intellectual asset management professionals, including those responsible for licensing and business development, who want to raise their professional skill level should take this course. Students in Fundamentals typically have less than three yearsŐ experience in the field. Both LES members and nonmembers may attend.
Participants learn basic concepts and skills. After completing Fundamentals, students will be able to:
- Use the language of intellectual property and licensing
- Identify basic legal issues
- Participate in assessing needs, opportunities, and risks
- Follow a process for technology transfer, including finding and qualifying prospects, and negotiating and closing a deal, and
