In 10 working groups, the participants worked on the COSMED - The Metabolic Company case study, each dealing with a different fictive scenerio leading to a specific business outcome. We observed participants grow and bloom over the 6 weeks as they progressively applied their newly-learnt knowledge towards real-life serious game play. 👏 Thank you to our participants, speakers, and coaches for making this edition a success!

This week we had the 2nd session of the IP Strategy Bootcamp, where our fireside chat —“𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝗣 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱 — 𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹” made one thing clear: IP strategy is not about patents. Not filings. Not frameworks. 📍 It’s about stewardship. 🔎 Stewardship of fragile ideas. 🔎 Stewardship of claims that create leverage. 🔎 Stewardship of strategy when executives must make bold calls. Invention discipline → strong claims → value extraction → organisational readiness. These aren’t separate skills. They’re a chain. 📍 And the strength of that chain depends on where leaders choose to act. In this bootcamp, we don’t train people to protect ideas. ⭐ We train them to shape outcomes. 💡 Because owning patents is not the same as owning your future. Thank you Shu-Pei Oei, Robert Harrison, Prof. Dr. Alexander J. Wurzer, Thomas Bereuter, CLP and Jamie Jia Mei Soon-Kesteloot Ph.D, LL.M for the valluable insights, and European Patent Office, I3PM International Institute for Intellectual Property Management and IP Business Academy for making this happen. #IPStrategy #InnovationLeadership #EPO #ValueCreation #ExecutiveLeadership

🎶 Music and AI 🎶 If you want to use song lyrics by German musicians to train a language model, it would probably be wise to obtain a GEMA licence. The Munich Regional Court ruled that both the memorisation of song lyrics in OpenAl's models and their repoduction in ChatGPT outputs infringe copyright. The text and data mining exception does not apply. OpenAl has announced it will appeal. The Munich ruling adds to a growing wave of copyright litigation against generative Al. In the US, The New York Times lawsuit against OpenAl and Microsoft is proceeding after a federal judge in March 2025 rejected OpenAl's motion to dismiss. That case, alleging that OpenAl used millions of articles without permission to train ChatGPT, could set a historic copyright pecedent for the Al era.

📊 CEOs don’t buy IP. They buy outcomes. Market share. Revenue protection. Risk reduction. Strategic positioning. In tomorrow's Session 2 lecture of the IP Strategy Bootcamp — “How to Pitch Your IP Strategy to the C-Suite” — Dr. Benjamin DELSOL (PhD, LL.M) and Maier Fenster will demonstrate how to transform: IP data ➜ Strategic narrative ➜ Direct business outcomes. You’ll learn how to: • Translate patent filings into competitive advantage • Connect licensing strategy to revenue streams • Justify R&D investment in boardroom language • Present IP strategy as a growth engine — not a cost centre This session is about moving from technical excellence to 📍 executive influence 📍 . 💡 Because when IP strategy is communicated well, it doesn’t just protect value — it creates it.
