Managing Intellectual Property in Fusion

F4E organised a conference in Barcelona on 28 and 29 November 2011 together with the European Commission and the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Arbitration and Mediation Center.

The conference raised awareness to potential F4E contractors and beneficiaries about the management of IP in the fusion programme, communicated the opportunities that fusion research may offer for innovation and technology transfer and analysed dispute prevention and resolution techniques in this area. Some practical tools for dealing with IP were also presented.

The conference addressed project managers, in-house IP practitioners and representatives from companies and research institutions currently operating with F4E or considering future involvement in our activities.

The conference showcased available examples of IPR generated in fusion that may have applications in other sectors. Companies and/or research institutions willing to contribute with their experience and innovations to this event participated.
