Publishing vs. Patenting

The webinar, organised by the FETFX project with the participation of the European IPR Helpdesk, examined the two different routes related to dissemination and exploitation of project results, with a specific focus to FET funded projects. It provided advice on how to prevent others from making, using, or selling the IP, when to choose a defensive approach related to the publications and the open access model, as well as how seeking a patent without preclude a publication.
