I have been involved with several tech startups and IP has always been a part of every tech startup's conversation. Articulating the IP puts the strength of the idea in the context of a business model. Having IP assures the new venture is innovative and substantiates value to a potential investor. IP protection, if implemented, provides a form of insurance against erosion of capital invested. The question of how to go about protecting the innovation of a startup is often a set of complex considerations based on strategy and financial strength. Over the next couple of blogs, I will share some thoughts from my personal experience in the hopes of simplifying this decision process.
Please contact me to share any feedback or experiences or if there are any questions.
