Patentit–Teollisuus–Tekniikka
Don’t Give in to Competitors! Protect Your Inventions.
The competitive advantage of innovation is worth protecting. Any invention is quickly copied and the company’s advantage lost, if your innovation is not patented or covered by other industrial property rights protection.
The Patentit–Teollisuus–Tekniikka program familiarizes you with industrial property rights. It focuses on patent application processes in Finland and abroad, and emphasizes the importance of consistent patenting procedures within companies.
9 ECTS credits can be transferred from this program to the Aalto Executive MBA or Aalto MBA program.
Please note that this program is held in Finnish.
