Novelty is a legal requirement for a patent claim to be patentable. The purpose of the novelty requirement is to prevent prior art from being patented again and to warrant the invention right/s to the patent sort after. In many Institute of Higher Learnings (IHL) (for example in polytechnics, Technical Vocation Schools, Colleges and Universities), the inventors (or researchers) often finds it difficult to distinguish novelty (that has been established) in their course of research work which may be patented and often finds it difficult to fill in the invention disclosure forms appropriately to which is the basis of patent application.
Note: Due to the overwhelming response of the previous sessions, there shall be more sessions in 2019.

David Wanetick has more than 20 years of experience in Company and Intellectual Property Valuation, Financial Modeling, Strategic Planning, and Negotiations.
He is recognised world-wide for his expertise in valuing emerging technologies and intangible assets such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, contracts, earn-outs and non-compete agreements. His clients include law firms; emerging, mid- and large-sized companies; technology transfer offices; inventors; venture capitalists and private equity firms. Valuations are primarily conducted in the context of negotiating licensing agreements, mergers and acquisitions, patent sales, capital raises and litigation support. He developed the Certified Patent Valuation Analyst Designation.
He has facilitated hundreds of sessions in which CEOs present their strategic plans to their Boards of Directors or members of the institutional investment community. These executives hailed from industries ranging from Advertising Agencies to Water Utilities and have been as diverse as Israeli Security Companies to Canadian Insurers.

He developed the Certified Strategic Negotiator designation.
You can't manage what you can't measure. You can't monetize what you can't value. Numerous studies report that intangible assets represent at least 70% of corporate value. The imperative of valuing patents has largely been met with anticipatory surrender on the part of corporate managers. This is unfortunate as the indifference to valuing patents is hindering the management and monetization of the largest category of corporate assets.
It has been witnessed over the last decade that a surge in demand for analysts who can value intangible assets such as patents, is exponentially rising. Thus, IP ALPHA is pleased to be the exclusive partner of Business Development Academy who has developed Certified Patent Valuation Analyst Program. The CPVA curriculum is designed to prepare financial analysts, technology transfer professionals, intellectual property managers, licensing managers, inventors, patent lawyers and other business development executives with the skill set necessary to value patents and various forms of IP.
One of the core components of the CPVA curriculum is immersion into the Patent Valuation Gauntlet. In deriving the value of a patent, PVG takes into account commercial value, assertion value, blocking value, cross-licensing value, reputational value as well as patent invalidity risks and design around risks. Holders of the CPVA designation will have access to the PVG worksheets. CPVA designees will be eligible to stamp their valuations as having been run through the Patent Valuation Gauntlet.
