Join our IP Start programme for start-ups

 

Most start-ups are aware that intellectual property (IP), and more broadly, intangible assets (IA), are key to its value. However, amongst competing demands of R&D, fundraising, business model validation, etc., start-ups often do not have the time to look into what appears to be a particularly technical and legalistic topic. We are here to help.

Our IP Start programme helps start-ups like you take charge of your IA and IP with curated resources, practical advice, and hands-on guidance.

Get answers to the top 3 IA/IP questions that start-ups ask:

How do I protect my technology and product?

  1. Should I get a patent?
  2. What other forms of IA/IP are relevant to me?
  3. How do the various IP registration processes work?

How do I articulate the value of my IA/IP to investors?

  1. What are my key IA/IP?
  2. How is IA/IP valuable to my business?
  3. How do I value my IA/IP?

How do I work with partners?

  1. What form of partnership is more suitable for me?
  2. Are the terms of my research collaboration or licensing agreement fair?
  3. Will my partner/manufacturer misuse my secrets?

We’ve advised over 200 companies on IA and IP issues to date. We intimately understand how start-ups can navigate these issues. IP Start will give you the head start you need to manage your IA and IP, navigate obstacles, and prepare you for scaling.

Here’s what you’ll get for FREE:
  1. 45-min consultation on your IA and IP
  2. IP Essentials for Businesses course
  3. IP Playbook for Start-ups
  4. How-to video on applying for patents

Plus, enjoy special rates for IA/IP training and advisory!
