Protecting IP from quantum-focused R&D
Quantum technologies are opening new avenues for innovation across quantum computing, hardware, photonics, algorithms and control systems. As research and commercial development accelerate, an effective IP strategy is increasingly important for technology companies, research institutions and start-ups.
This session explores quantum-related patent applications, prosecution challenges, and practical recommendations for protecting and commercialising IP from quantum-focused R&D, with global lessons and a practical roadmap for India.
Five parts, sixty minutes
A focused, practical hour moving from the quantum patent landscape to a concrete IP roadmap.
Patent landscape
Quantum technology patent landscape and emerging areas of innovation.
Inventive concepts
Illustrative quantum patent applications and identifying inventive concepts.
Drafting and prosecution
Novelty, inventive step and claim scope, and the challenges they raise.
Jurisdictions
Patentability considerations across key jurisdictions.
IP strategy
IP strategy, R&D and international protection for quantum companies and institutions.
