Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia and the Australian Institute of Commercialisation are hosting a one-day conference in February 2009 on commercialising inventions. This conference will feature the results from several national surveys of inventors, including a survey of 4000 Australian inventors.
The conference is targeted at senior business managers, IP lawyers, patent attorneys and policy analysts. It is intended to inform people about how many inventions are developed; how many are successfully commercialised; what are the main characteristics of this success and what the value of most patents is.
This one-day conference will be held in both Brisbane and Melbourne.
