Intellectual Property & Innovation Committee
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.
IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.
The IP Committee and Innovation Committee organizes regularly conferences on regulations for member corporations.

Governance:
The discussion group is coordinated by the EACC which identifies the experts, sends out the invitations, prepares the agenda and ensures the coherence of the group.
Group of ten HRDs per session, on the basis of a recurring participation (6 to 8 weeks) in order to create a dynamic of exchanges.
