Using IP to win over your angels: 10 things every start-up must know

European Innovation Academy

One of the most overlooked, yet important, tasks of a startup is to ensure that the investment it makes in developing intellectual property is protected. Failing could have dramatic consequences on future investment or valuations. In this presentation, I walk through why startups should care about IP, what IP is, how to avoid screwing up protecting that IP, and how to leverage existing IP to improve the chances of future investment.

Protecting IP in Technology Startups

Seth Northrop

WBS Entrpreneurship Mentoring Workshop -28 July 2011 -

Warwick Business School

“Protecting Intellectual Property at Startups” was a highly interactive one with questions from entrepreneurs leading to much learning for all. Some key takeaways from the session: 1) IP is not a “ghost” to be feared, but a “friend” to be nurtured 2) Familiarize yourself with all aspects of IP relevant to your business and your idea. Just being informed helps you manage about 70% of the risk 3) The vision of the Startup should lead to an IP strategy that allows easy answers to key questions like – Should I patent or not? Which markets should I file patents in? etc. 4) Myths around IP should be shattered (example: unclear explanations of ideas to obfuscate full disclosure can leave Startups with a lack of protection) 5) The philosophy of patent protection should be understood – Governments give inventors a monopoly for a certain period of time in return for full disclosure from the inventors so that the next inventor/entrepreneur can execute and push the envelope for the general benefit of society 6) Misuse of patents can kill a company. Founders should do an initial patent search to ensure that they are not in violation. 7) Patent services companies are highly skilled (and expensive) but Startups may want to consider hiring these services because shortcuts often lead to significant exposure 8) Startups that are bootstrapping, can consider a provisional patent filing 9) Intellectual property is not just patents - Copyrights, Trademarks and Trade Secrets offer protections that should be considered as well. Indian entrepreneurs should take IP seriously to build credible businesses.

Intellectual Property 101: How to Leverage Intangible Value for Your Clients

Traklight.com

SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) invest most of their resources in R&D to produce new technologies. They take higher risks than larger companies, who in contrast focus their R&D efforts on incremental innovations. Yet, SMEs mostly fail to protect the value they create with patents. When they do, these patents have in general very poor quality and do not adequately protect their core markets. Lastly, SMEs are underserved in terms of legal representation and understandably so: outside law firms tend to find it difficult to work with SMEs, let alone getting paid for their services. There is a mismatch between the patent value creation potential of SMEs on one hand, and what they actually produce.
