Certified Licensing Professionals, Inc. (CLP) launched an updated exam content outline, or blueprint, effective beginning October 2019. The updated exam content outline is the product of an extensive multi-year initiative that included a job analysis to define the competencies of professionals with at least three years of experience in licensing, technology transfer, intellectual property management, and commercialization. In accordance with best practice, CLP conducts a job analysis periodically to update the CLP exam to ensure its relevancy to present competencies. The results of the job analysis indicated a need to update the exam content outline to reduce redundancy, better reflect current subject matter, and improve the overall organization of the content.
