**Language:** English

**Description: **This webinar will be focused on the cooperation between Universities and companies in the search for technological innovation, in particular on the pitfalls of disclosure which can hinder the protection of possible inventions and practical suggestions to overcome such problems, also under a contractual point of view. Furthermore, we will examine the issue of the experimental and not purely commercial use of inventions in the chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and biotechnological fields, also with reference to the private health use of an invention covered by a patent, in the light of the relevant regulation, case-law, as well as the technical-legal experience in the matter.
