The “5 minutes about IPR” texts will appear at least twice a month. The premise here is to take you 5 minutes to pay attention to something we are passionate about and you will be interested in. The articles will therefore be short, clear and, if possible, also “illustrated”.

Above all, however, we hope that it will be simply interesting.
