Sixth sense

Knowledge on Intellectual Property is like a sixth sense to a researcher/inventor, don't miss out on it

Ferdinard Adung'o Janssen Pharmaceutica Online graduate

Quote Paul Janssen Futurelab

Solid understanding

This course gives you a solid understanding of intellectual property which will allow you to efficiently interact with IP specialists. The content is comprehensive, the cases studies are very relevant and all is set in a nice digital environment.
