Excellent course for professionals
Excellent course for professionals planning to work with patents and/or license agreements. Offers top-level interviews that provide a general view of patent management and goes into practical steps with actual use of websites, tools, and a generous amount of examples.

Genuinely fascinating
The case studies were all thought provoking, well-chosen and expertly presented to make different points. Genuinely fascinating: thanks!

Out of my comfort zone
“I loved the ‘corporate finance’ bit, really out of my comfort zone, but it did give me so much more insight into the financial considerations in clinical development”
Meta Roestenberg, Leiden University Medical Center, Clinical Development Online graduate
Challenging content
I thoroughly enjoyed this course! The content, consisting of great videos, articles, and assignments, both challenged and matched my knowledge of clinical development.
