Innovation and Intellectual Property Management (IIPM) Laboratory

Every year since 2019, from October to December we run an eight week elective module focused on Innovation & Strategic Management of Intellectual Property. The module is build around what we came to call the Cambridge IP strategy framework.

Lectures by Prof. Tietze are supported by a range of guest speakers who provides complementary perspectives on how IP and innovation is managed in different industries (e.g. aerospace, graphene sensors, semiconductors) and case study discussions (e.g. Dolby, Nutriset).

This year, the module is attended by more than 80 students, including 4th year engineering students, from various MPhil graduate programmes (e.g. ISMM, Advanced Chemical Engineering, Sustainable Development) and PhD students.
