    Activities and Societies: I took the course and the exam at Dignity Kitchen. A good place to be. http://dignitykitchen.sg/

    Added a new qualification to my CV: Food Handling Certificate Singapore.

    I can now enter food manufacturing places. F&B and food manufacturing is an important economy sector in Singapore. Many IP issues there.

    It took me one day for attending the course and taking the exam.

    That was an interesting time. While building up an international IP firm, I attended law school courses at the nearby university of Munich. My two kids were born and grew up during that time. I ran million $ revenues per year while I was still a law student.

    I finally made it and qualified for the 1st German state bar exam which happened to take place exactly at the same time when I had to sit for the Singapore patent attorney exam. I went for the Singapore patent attorney and canceled the exam in Munich. So I never qualified as a general lawyer in Germany, I always was a German, European and Singapore patent attorney, but never a German general lawyer. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me.

    Although having the term "amateur" in it, "Amateur Radio" is in reality nothing for amateurs. Amateur Radio is the only way to legally operate private non-standard wireless communication devices.

    Although having the term "amateur" in it, "Amateur Radio" is in reality nothing for amateurs. Amateur Radio is the only way to legally operate private non-standard wireless communication devices. Amateur Radio in Germany is regulated under the Amateurfunk-Gesetz (AFuG). It is also subject to numerous international agreements. All Amateur Radio operators must be properly licensed. In Germany, there are two license classes. The higher the class of license, the more frequencies and transmitting power are available. Earning a higher class license requires passing more difficult examinations. The Amateur Extra class license class "A" (all call-signs starting with DB, DC, DD, DG, DF, DH, DJ, DK, DL, and DM) conveys all available Amateur Radio operating privileges on all bands and all modes, with a maximum transmitting power of 750 Watts. Earning the Extra Class "A" license is difficult as it requires passing a thorough examination in three areas "technology", "operations" and "law".

    The WIPO's Inventor Assistance Program (IAP) is a global initiative that supports inventors and small businesses with limited resources to turn their innovative ideas into successful commercial ventures. By providing free legal assistance, the program helps to level the playing field and provide equal opportunities to innovators around the world.

    One of the most exciting things about the IAP is its global reach, operating in several countries and providing local patent attorneys or agents who are familiar with the local legal landscape and can provide targeted assistance. The program plays a crucial role in supporting inventors and small businesses worldwide, empowering them to secure patent protection, ensure their ideas are not stolen or copied, and generate revenue from their inventions.

    The program relies heavily on volunteer patent attorneys and agents who generously donate their time and expertise to help beneficiaries navigate the patent system, from filing initial applications to managing ongoing patent prosecution. Through their efforts, inventors can turn their ideas into reality, even if they lack the financial resources or expertise to navigate the complex patent system.

    The IAP is an essential program that has the potential to make a significant difference in people's lives and help foster innovation and creativity on a global scale. It is an excellent opportunity for volunteers to make a meaningful contribution to society by helping inventors and small businesses, connecting with like-minded individuals, and expanding their knowledge of the field.

    This book starts where other books about innovation end.

    I have seen more than one hundred bankruptcies from the inside and more than six hundred failed product ideas over 27 years.

    In my book “The 4×4 Innovation Strategy”, I will take you by the hand and walk you down to the morgue. By way of example, I will dissect dead innovation and derive a simple yet efficient structure that helps you better understand what made these casualties happen.

    Starting from there, it becomes clear that – as is often in life – an organized defense line is more important than a bold center forward.

    Entrepreneurs receive a big picture model to easily communicate what they are planning to do, aligning their technicians and managers to perform better in new product development. Investors get a more transparent picture of what they are investing in, what they can possibly expect in the near future, and when is a good time to exit their investment.

    My book also helps people who advise start-up companies in business matters, such as general lawyers, accountants, and marketing experts. It is my calling to produce materials that guide these support professionals through the minefields that come with innovation. My book will also help you to better cooperate with patent attorneys, who are the trained hands-on specialists in intellectual property law.

    My book is for
    - Inventors who want to commercialize their innovative ideas, and who believe that a successful business is not just about the products themselves
    - Innovation Managers who want to help their R&D teams to stay on track and to meet their KPIs
    - Legal professionals who want to help their own clients when asked for advice outside their own domains of expertise
    - Investors who want to understand better how to discern between a juicy opportunity and just another money sinkhole
    - Young and bright people who want to understand how intellectual property, innovation strategy and entrepreneurship fit together

    Um es kurz zu fassen, Singapur ist per se nicht der richtige Ort, um solches Geld zu parken. Eine Vorschrift gibt es hierzu nicht, aber in der Praxis ist es so, dass man zur Kontoeröffnung hier einen festen Wohnsitz nachweisen muss. Dafür kann eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis dienen, die entweder temporär mit einer Arbeitserlaubnis oder - heute seltener - als permanente Aufenthaltserlaubnis erteilt wird.

    Survey participants could recommend firms both in general and by specialities, categorised into six sectors. More than 10,000 patent attorneys working in patent law firms or in the patent departments of companies, as well as clients, were directly invited to take part in the survey. The sample was collected via research conducted by Statista on relevant company websites, in publications and from the EPI (the Institute of Professional Representatives Before the European Patent Office), the professional body representing European patent attorneys. The invitations were sent by email with a personalised link that could be used only once.

Anybody can make that claim, but ACQ really is different. We boast a legitimately independent nomination process, most importantly, our award winners, are chosen by the industry itself."
