The Innovative Enterprise Incubator of the Politecnico di Torino (I3P) has organized a series of free training events in collaboration with Jacobacci Avvocati and Jacobacci & Partners. These events are primarily targeted at startups and innovative SMEs but are open to anyone interested in learning more about the protection and enhancement of intellectual property in the entrepreneurial and professional sectors.

Following the first event in May and the second in June, the third and final event will be held on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Titled “Software, Data, and AI Protection: a practical guide for startups”, the seminar will focus on young innovative companies that engage with digital innovation with originality and boldness, and that grapple with managing and protecting their intellectual property (IP).

Can new software be patented? Is it possible to protect an invention that uses artificial intelligence? Can someone else’s database be used freely? And most importantly, how can it be done correctly? During the meeting, practical examples will be presented to address these and many other questions, providing answers to common queries and doubts on the subject. Special emphasis will be placed on success stories demonstrating how the European approach to software protection can be effectively applied to startups and SMEs, and how this strategy should be adapted to the new reality of AI.

After the introduction by Leo Italiano, Senior Consultant at I3P and Program Manager of ESA BIC Turin, the event will feature presentations by Edgardo Deambrogi, Partner & Italian and European Patent Attorney at Jacobacci & Partners, Valerio Verdecchia, European Patent Attorney at Jacobacci & Partners, and Alberto Spoto, Lawyer at Jacobacci Avvocati.
