Who should attend

• IP professionals & patent attorneys
• R&D leaders and innovation managers

Perfect for teams who:

• Teams moving from ad-hoc forms to guided, structured invention capture
• Organizations needing tenant-only AI for GDPR, confidentiality, and auditability
• Leaders who want fewer iterations, faster cycle times, and cleaner drafts

=============================================================

You will learn to

• Distinguish “invention” vs. “patentable invention” (practical tests & examples)
• Use AI as a guided dialogue (not a form) to document inventions securely
• Run a full Microsoft 365 workflow: Teams → SharePoint → Review → Draft
• Meet GDPR & governance requirements (no external data paths, no chat history)
• Apply our Safeguarding Governance Playbook (included bonus) to keep IT, Legal & R&D aligned

Why now

Generic cloud AI can jeopardize novelty and breach GDPR through data retention and reuse. We show how to keep IP data inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, with audit-proof storage and clear retention. (Messaging aligned with your prior campaigns.
