the exam is in oral form: two parts, one with professor Gallo and one with professor Vatti. The sum of the votes of the two professor indicates the final vote of the exam.
The oral arguments find basis on the book proposed by professor Gallo, on the handsout proposed by professor Vatti and on the slides. Normally, an exam will ends after 50-60 minutes (considering both of the professors)
According to an alternative way, it is possible to prepare a project work related to a project you are studying, for example the matter of your thesis work. The project work could relate to both of the matters of the course (innovation and intellectual property), or just one. The subsequent oral exam will take in consideration the arguments discussed in the project work and will eventually relate to other arguments: it will depend on the quality of the project work and on the broadness of the arguments discussed. If a relevant part of the program is not considered, at least a question will be highly probable. If you like this route, consider the project work as a chapter of your thesis work (we are available to speak about it with your thesis professor, in order to confirm and eventually strengthen the chapter). In order to have the time to read and valuate the project work, in case of project work choice please send to prof Gallo e prof Vatti via mail 5 days before the appeal the project work and the power point presentation you are going to present during the exam.

We ought to remember that:
• Project work copied are not accepted: you certainly will have to repeat (also) patent part, due to the violation of copyright. In this case, assignment of copyright is not admittable.
• You could have the exam for just one part in an appeal and the second part in a subsequent appeal, provided that you conclude your exam in one year (January 2025).
• If you do not pass at least one part of the exam, or the vote appears to you insufficient for at least one part of the exam, you can decide to repeat just the part you have not passed.
• You have five days by the day of registration of the vote to refuse the final vote: passed these days, the vote is definitive.
• Normally, a list of appeal closes five days before the date of exam: you have the time to decide if you want to sustain the exam or not, and if you do not want to attend it, you have the time to send us a email, informing us. It costs nothing, but it is really useful to us, in order to organize our working day (after the exams).
• It is difficult for us organize the exam in dates different from the due date: please, ask us only if you have very strict reasons. We dislike to say “no”, but in most of the cases we really cannot proceed differently.
