The 10th Luxembourg Intellectual Property Day will be at the Chamber of Commerce on 26 April this year, hosted by the Intellectual Property Office and the Intellectual Property Institute Luxembourg, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Crafts, Luxinnovation and Luxembourg incubators.

Topics to be addressed at the conference entitled "Intellectual Property and Entrepreneurship" will focus on the support measures developed by the European Commission to facilitate the use of IP by start-ups and the means at their disposal to defend their rights. A consideration of intellectual property in relation to 3D printing and blockchain technology will also be developed. The final presentation will focus on the prototyping capabilities of the Technoport FabLab Incubator. 

In parallel with the conference, a trade fair will be open to the public, mainly led by Luxembourg intellectual property actors and national incubators, giving the public a chance to meet IP professionals and talk about the various components of IP, such as patents, trademarks, designs, copyright etc., and to meet incubators established in Luxembourg.  

Participation in the conference is free, but requires prior registration, before 24 April, on the website: www.ipil.lu, where information on the schedule is also provided.
