Cicada Masterclass: IP Protection for Clinical Research & Health Innovations

Research and innovation in health and life sciences generate valuable discoveries, data, and technologies with the potential to improve patient outcomes. But when should intellectual property be protected, and what factors should researchers consider along the translation pathway?

This masterclass will feature Sylvie Tso, who will share insights on intellectual property protection in clinical research and health innovation. The session will be followed by a fireside chat exploring the challenges, opportunities, and pathways involved in translating research into real-world impact.

Joining the discussion will be Michael Powell (Commercialisation Manager, WSLHD) and Adam Wardell (Previsior, IGP Advisor), with the conversation moderated by Angelica Lau (Cicada Innovations). Together, the panel will discuss key considerations for research translation, commercialisation, and the role of IP in supporting successful health innovations.
