IBIL offers a range of events and courses which are of interest to IP practitioners, in-house counsel and policy makers.
We're committed to helping members of the IP legal community fulfil their training requirements. We also recognise that many legal professionals need to update their IP knowledge or wish to develop their expertise in this particular field.
Lectures and Events
IBIL's main programme of lively seminars, lectures, debates and conferences cover a wide variety of engaging legal topics. We will provide a Certificate of Participation for CPD purposes on request. Visit our Events Page for more details.
