FICPI - IP Practice Benchmarking Survey

FICPI's Professional Excellence Committee (PEC) will soon be launching an anonymous benchmarking survey. Completion time will be 10 minutes from any desktop or portable device. Your participation will be much appreciated. The more participants, the better the statistical reliability.

Completing the survey will be enjoyable and thought provoking; it will contain questions on your current practice but also emerging areas of IP practice. The survey is important to assess the state of our profession and reveal which aspects of our practice are in transition and where threats and opportunities arise. Survey results will constitute a useful benchmarking tool for your practice and for future FICPI programming.  

Read Patrick Erk's blog to find out more.

Look out for the survey launching soon!
