A roadmap for effective IPR Training: The IPR4Data Facilitator Handbook is now available online for free! 2025-01-15

The Facilitator Handbook for Implementing IPR Simulation Labs for Digital Skills is now available. This handbook serves as a valuable resource for educators and facilitators aiming to replicate the IPR4Data course effectively. Focused on developing essential skills in patent analysis, data management, and visualization, the training program supports strategic decision-making, particularly in sustainability and the circular economy.

The training program outlined in the handbook is structured into modules that progressively build expertise in the domain of Patent Data Analysis.

It begins with an introduction to the IP framework and the patenting process, followed by the basics of patent searches and bibliographic data. Learners then advance to more complex topics, such as designing search queries, cleaning and merging data, and visualizing results. The course concludes with a practical case study focused on interpreting patent analysis outcomes.

The 2024 pilot course delivery provided key lessons and valuable participants’ feedback, which has been collected in the final section of the handbook, accompanied by a thorough analysis. This analysis makes the handbook an exceptional resource for educators, offering practical guidance and actionable lessons for future course iterations.
