Na een zeer bewegelijke week moet en wordt er keihard geleerd voor de komende tentamen periode (19 januari tot en met 30 januari). Wat een zeer drukke 2 weken gaat worden terwijl er ook gewerkt moet worden.
Verleden week ben ik naar een seminar van New Venture geweest in het Europees Octrooicentrum te Rijswijk (waanzinnig kantoorpand). Hier werd met name over Intellectueel Eigendom verteld, merkenrecht en auteursrecht komen hier aan de lopende band voorbij alsmede octrooiering van een (technisch) idee.
Verder kregen wij een voorbeeld voorgeschoteld hoe je iets kan vinden in de (internationale) octrooi database en hiermee het eigen idee als het ware mee kan verbeteren.
Aan het eind van deze dag was er een borrel waar het netwerken gestart kon worden. Zo heb ik gesproken met de heren van Litit, Telin en PI products en een zeer charmante dame van New Venture.

Maar goed morgenmiddag is het tentamen Strategic Financial Management en moet nog het een en ander doornemen.
