“Stephen Adams was excellent. He has experience in the field, was easy to follow and gave a good answer to difficult questions.”

Shire Elmi, Examiner, Patentstyret

“All the speakers seemed well prepared and gave good presentations. Overall, this course was excellent in providing knowledge about different types of DD and FTO in the main jurisdictions and how to practically conduct such tasks. Very good speakers, updated and good course material.”

Synnøve Flister, European Patent Attorney, Zacco Norway AS

“The course exceeded my expectations; I expected to be educated in concepts and theories, instead I was equipped with tools and experience! Arnaud was an enthusiastic presenter and a patient guide through the intense volume of information and challenging interactive group work. I was impressed at how applicable the content of the course was to delegates from such a variety of business sizes and markets; everyone was finding the teaching relevant to them in some way. I loved the interactive aspects of the course and enjoyed learning how to use the tools given and the 'aha!' moments when it all began to make sense. I enjoyed that the tools given didn't always have 'correct' answers but always enabled you to make and justify decisions that were aligned with the business strategy. ”

Elizabeth Maclennan, Project Manager, McMurtry Automotive Ltd.

Luke Townsend, IP Researcher, Oxford Biomedica
