Patenting Strategies for Entrepreneurs (Online – Free)
Recording
Event Description
Your start-up company needs to protect its innovations to break into the market and grow market share, and a strong patent strategy is one of the key components to success.
As an entrepreneur, you have many topics to consider in order to make your business prosper. What are the most important aspects of patent strategy for you to focus on?
Highlights include:
- Timing for filing a patent application favors the first inventor to file a patent application, not the first person to invent – file your patent application early or lose out entirely.
- Find out which innovation must be protected first – what you can’t live without.
- Hear about the precautions to take when approaching third parties, such as vendors and possible partners in technological development – protect your innovation from others.
- Learn to avoid common pitfalls that start-ups encounter
