Finnish Symposium on IP valuation

Clashing dreadfully with this year's International Trademark Association Meeting in Seattle is an international symposium, “Intellectual Property Valuation in Business”, which the National Board of Patents and Registration of Finland is hosting in Helsinki at Säätytalo and Finlandia-talo on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 May 2009. The symposium is arranged in co-operation with Otaniemi International Innovation Centre of Helsinki University of Technology. You can read the full programme here. For further details email Eira Juntune here or phone 09 – 6939 5238.

This symposium is the second in a series of four international symposiums on the topic. Its primary aim is to raise awareness of IP valuation issues and increase dialogue among stakeholders. The organizing parties in addition to National Board of Patents and Registration are the Hungarian Patent Office, the Austrian Patent Office and the UK Intellectual Property Office, as partners in this initiative.

IP Finance would like to have sight of the presentations at this symposium and is approaching the organisers in the hope of making them available through the blog.
