job titles

Welcome to Connecting Dots!The light bulb above your head is glowing and you know that turning it into a marketable product can be a lucrative way to start moving into entrepreneurship. Before you start blabbing about your invention to the wrong person or run to the first company that offers to buy it, you need to do one thing: protect it – or more formally, patent it.To educate us more on the concept of patents, we have the subject matter expert with us today – Dr. Claudia Tapia, who’s a President of the 4iP Council and Director of IPR Policy and Legal Academic Research at Ericsson. Alongside these job roles, she also wears the hats of a certified Executive coach and a member of the Editorial Board of The Patent Law magazine and of the Intellectual Property Magazine. In this episode, Claudia – speaking on her own behalf – demystifies what her job title entails; reflects on her journey that landed her into this exclusive niche area of law; and, most interestingly shares with us her massive knowledge about patents so that you can patent your brightest ideas!
