Join us on 4-5 November for FICPI’s Virtual Open Forum
This year FICPI’s much-loved Open Forum will have a different look and feel.
Continued restrictions on travel mean that we have opted for an online event: the first FICPI Virtual Open Forum.
Behind the scenes we’ve been working hard to transform the planned in-person event into an online meeting that will include valued elements such as social events and discussions, as well as our usual high-quality speakers.
So what can you expect from the FICPI Virtual Open Forum?
- High quality speakers from around the world
- Content covering patents, trade marks, IP practice management and personal development
- Networking in facilitated breakout rooms
- Social events will include wine tasting, recipe swaps, a fun quiz and exercise challenges
- Fun prizes based on categories such as ‘Best socialiser’, ‘Most active on LinkedIn’ and ‘Top networker’
Bookings will open shortly using Eventbrite. The conference sessions are free to FICPI members; non-members will pay a set conference fee.
Session topics will include:
- The challenge of keeping up to date with changes to patent laws and practices
- Dealing with the spectrum of objections to trade mark applications
- Artificial intelligence in patent examination
- Trade marks tainted by scandals
- Delivering your speech well on a webinar
