When patenting is done right, it can generate significant corporate value and position companies for successful exits, IPOs, or long-term growth. Google’s recent $3.2B acquisition of Nest is a dramatic example of patents contributing to a young technology company’s phenomenal success. When done wrong—such as without consideration of a company’s revenue streams or business goals—patenting can provide little return on human and financial capital investments. For growing companies defined by the technology they develop, a lean patenting strategy is imperative. Companies that successfully align their patent strategy with their business future can maximize corporate value through lean, targeted investments in patents that will matter to competitors.
Finnegan partner Darren Jiron will explain the importance of strategic patenting for growing technology companies. Then, a panel of companies from the portfolio of Valhalla Partners will explain how patent protection has impacted their businesses.
