More information

Ben jij een technische student en denk je dat intellectueel eigendom vooral iets is voor juristen? Think again.

Alles wat jij tijdens je studie leert en ontwikkelt draait om innovatie. Of je nu werkt aan een slim algoritme, een nieuw productontwerp of een technische oplossing: jouw ideeën hebben waarde. Maar hoe zorg je ervoor dat die waarde ook van jou (of je toekomstige werkgever) blijft?

Daar komt intellectueel eigendom om de hoek kijken.

 

Bedrijven investeren enorm in kennis en technologie. Die kennis moet beschermd worden tegen concurrenten, zeker in een wereld waarin alles steeds internationaler en competitiever wordt. Tegelijkertijd worden de regels rondom bescherming steeds uitgebreider en complexer. Dat maakt het niet alleen belangrijk, maar ook interessant.

 

Tijdens een lunchmeeting Laurens van Breda en Tjeerd Fokkens zien hoe techniek en intellectueel eigendom samenkomen. Zij geven een kijkje in een vakgebied waar je misschien nog niet aan had gedacht: werken op het snijvlak van technologie en recht.

Wist je dat je als technisch expert kunt helpen bij:

  • het beschermen van uitvindingen (octrooien)
  • het analyseren van nieuwe technologieën
  • het vertalen van complexe techniek naar juridische bescherming

 

Bovendien is het een carrière met veel afwisseling en een unieke combinatie van denken én doen.

Kortom: ben je benieuwd wat je nog meer kunt met jouw technische achtergrond?


Kom langs, pak een gratis lunch mee en ontdek een wereld achter innovatie die je studie ineens in een heel nieuw perspectief zet.

 

Wanneer:          dinsdag 28 April om 12.30

Waar:               The ’Salon’
