I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to take part in this amazing program, which lasted two weeks. This experience will be useful in my work, since I work at the IITU Innovation Center at International IT University. We work with startups and the importance of understanding patents is great. The experience gained in patenting and intellectual property will be implemented in our practice.
