UT IP is an arena for companies that sees IP (Intellectual Property) management as an important asset in their business.

In many of today’s companies, IP are increasingly making up a significant proportion of a company’s net worth. Therefore a good IP strategy and IP protection acts as both a shield and a sword for businesses. The fora are also focusing on the increasing impact of AI on IP rights-holders.

The IP managers of the companies meet 3 times per. year to share experiences related to the IP part of scaling and managing a company.

Topics that are discussed are IP strategy, patents, trademarks, licensing of IP, standards, trends in various markets, infringements, cost control, procurement competence (of IP services), contractual issues and more.

UT IP is a cooperation with Marks & Clerk and Simonsen Vogt Wiig.
