Patent seminars
Your guide through patent law:
In just a few hours to solid basics in patent law with my patent seminars!
Individual seminars for you
Increase your knowledge of patent law with tailor-made patent seminars, which I offer especially for you and your team . Whether on-site or online, in group training or in a personal 1:1 seminar – I design the trainings flexibly according to your needs. I start where your knowledge ends and adapt the content individually.
Hint: If you are looking for a seminar as an individual and do not want a 1:1 training, take a look at my appointment page . There you can book a place in one of my open events.

My unique training concept
I combine theoretical basics with practical exercises to offer you an interactive learning experience . From research to reading patent claims – in my seminars you will anchor your knowledge in the long term. It is very important to me that you actively participate and stay mentally involved through a variety of methods, including exercises and games.
Objective of the seminar
The goal of my seminar is to enable you to recognize opportunities and risks in connection with patents much better. After completing the seminar, you will experience significantly improved communication with patent attorneys, which minimizes friction losses and enables efficient processes in dealing with patents. You gain security and bring more ease to the complex topic of patents. Through the seminar, I enable you to significantly increase the quality and quantity of your invention disclosures in your company and to make well-founded decisions in patent law. In short, you will learn how to make the most of the potential of patents for your company, how to successfully integrate patents into your corporate strategy, how to increase the ability to innovate and how to reduce inefficient expenses.
This is what your training could look like
A typical training I offer for companies that want to enter the world of patents lasts about two days and is divided into four half-day blocks. In the first three blocks, knowledge transfer by me alternates with practical exercises. In the fourth block, I lead a research workshop where you will research on your own laptops under my guidance and get to know different databases and techniques.

Testimonials about the patent workshop
Thank you Friederike Stephan, for 2 days full of interesting information on patents and intellectual property rights.
Anyone who thinks this is boring and unwieldy is very wrong.
Friederike is a German patent assessor and European Patent Attorney. She knows how to present the topic of patents in an exciting and entertaining way. Her patent training is didactically cleverly structured with exercises and quizzes on all topics.
We learned a lot and it was fun! Great recommendation!
A valuable insight into the world of patents: The patent training with Friederike was extensive and target-oriented.
Friederike responded competently and patiently to our requirements and taught complex topics in a motivating learning environment.
The numerous application examples and the practice-oriented research part were particularly helpful.
The training is highly recommended!
After a few moments of training, I had the impression: “I did everything right” 😊
You have talent! I think you are doing very well and bringing the dry topic of patents to the team in a very refreshing way. I was surprised how active my colleagues were and thought it was great how they kept people happy for two days.
The feedback afterwards was consistently highly positive! Thank you very much for your commitment, your very detailed preparation and follow-up and the inspiration for Team Huesker when it comes to patents. Chapeau!!!!!
