During summer I was intern in BSIP as a part of Analytics team. I have learned a lot about patent analysis. This internship helped me to see the importance of patents to companies and it helped me to understand the ways that patents help small companies to become competitive in the market and to protect their products. On the other side I learned value of patents and how big companies earn money from licensing. As someone with technical background I find a big advantage of this internship, the way how it brought me closer to the world of economics and make me understand the economic aspects of technology.
