What you get

This scholarship is intended to support your studies in the field of industrial property law – that is, the law governing patents, trade marks and design rights. There is no fixed amount. You state in your application how much money you need, and the SIPF will decide on the amount. In return, once you have completed your studies, you will present your work at one of the SIPF’s events. You will also make the full text of your work available in electronic form so that SIPF members can use it freely.
