Technology and inventions are important parts of the innovation process, which transforms inventions into marketable products. This process is most complex and as such requires much specialized professional expertise and expert knowledge. The final phase of the innovation process is the marketing and commercialization phase which is crucial for the success of any invention and innovation. WIPO and IFIA have selected the main theme of this international symposium "Commercialization of Patented Inventions" in reply to numerous questions and requests from inventors, organizations and innovative enterprises on how best to make inventions produce a benefit for their authors and users. The returns in terms of profit upon its commercialization are the ultimate proof of the success of any invention or new product.
