4iP Council invites you to join their webinar on 31 March 2026 at 16:00 CEST, ''innovating in IoT and Standards: How SMEs Can Navigate Standards Development, Patent Licensing, Disputes and IP Strategy''.
In this session, Matteo Sabattini (Sisvel), Jamie Lewis (UK IPO), and Justine Ferland (WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center) will explore how SMEs working with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can engage with standards, navigate patent licensing, manage disputes, and develop effective IP strategies.
The webinar will highlight practical initiatives and tools designed to support SMEs, including licensing support programmes, advisory services, dispute resolution mechanisms, and funding opportunities. These efforts aim to make the IP and standards landscape more accessible and manageable for smaller innovators.
The presentations will be followed by a live Q&A session, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers.
I strongly recommend the course, even if you are not going to set-up an office but you are part of the team that wants to change or improve how technology transfer is done at your institution.
