Join us for an online session with IP experts who work at the intersection of quantum and law, unpacking what actually protects quantum software innovation, and how patents, trade secrets and open source licensing can work together.

​Note: This is Part 1 of 2 workshops. Think of this as the foundation, and following the in-person workshop (date to be announced) will go deeper into use cases.
​What to expect

​A practical understanding of how IP protection actually works for quantum algorithms and software, the misconceptions, real examples of patented quantum inventions & how open source licensing and business models are playing out in the quantum ecosystem.

​Plus, a framework for combining all of this into one solid IP strategy, and a group discussion on building a successful layered IP strategy.
​Speakers

Guido Paola (QDNL) will introduce the webinar
Erik Visscher (De Vries & Metman) will explain how quantum algorithms can be protected using patents and trade secrets
Malcom Bain (Across Legal) will follow with a deep dive into open source development and licensing

​Here's the program in that format, starting at 13:00:

Amsterdam

QDNL Amsterdam is hosting a side event during World Summit AI / World AI Week 2026, taking place on Tuesday 6 October, 3:00–6:00 PM at Meet Berlage – Amsterdam Center (Oudebrugsteeg 9, 1012 JN Amsterdam).

If you work in biotech, pharma, chemistry, or materials science, this session is designed for you. Quantum computing is opening up new ways to model molecules, simulate reactions, and accelerate discovery — in ways classical computing can't match. No prior quantum knowledge is needed.

What to expect:

Discover Quantum Computing — the fundamentals of why quantum matters for your field
State-of-the-Art Showcase — insights from renowned experts on the latest developments
Collaborative Networking — time to connect and spark new projects, with drinks to close the afternoon
