"The Freedom to Operate course provides a fantastic and engaging overview of the variety of issues faced when implementing IP rights in the life sciences industry.

This course is brilliant for those who are new to IP and also those who are more experienced in this sector.

A very informative and well structured training course. Highly recommended
The Freedom to Operate course was excellent, I’d recommend it for anyone working in technology transfer. As well as covering the fundamentals succinctly we also had the opportunity to discuss current cases such as the CRISPR IP landscape

I highly recommend the Assimilate IP courses as an enjoyable way to learn a lot of useful information and practical advice about intellectual property management and freedom to operate in a short amount of time and for very reasonable cost
The course provided lots of useful advice on best practice for carrying out FTO studies from an impartial point of view (i.e. not promoting a specific patent-searching platform). Detailed notes were given which I have referred to many times since
I attended the 'Freedom to Operate for the Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical Industries' course whilst working in the Legal and Compliance team at GE Healthcare. It was an interactive course with a variety of different elements, including lectures and group discussions. The course greatly improved my IP knowledge, which I was subsequently able to apply to my day-to-day role at GE Healthcare

Ian is very approachable and a great source of information about IP management. In addition to effectively communicating the core material Ian facilitated discussions around topics of particular interest to the group. The course was also a useful opportunity to meet and share experiences with others working in IP management
The course was very interesting and well structured. I was really impressed with the outstanding knowledge and expertise demonstrated by each speaker. At the end of the course I was provided with session materials to take home, which proved to be an extremely useful future reference guide. I'd highly recommend Assimilate IP to anyone who's looking to gain a better understanding of Intellectual Property law and practice
