What Every Investor and Corporate Executive Needs to Know About Building Corporate Value Through Patents

Patenting without a strategy is like investing at random.  Maybe the investment will generate value.  Maybe it will achieve a portfolio goal.  Maybe not.

Technology companies need patent strategies.  An effective patent strategy simultaneously boosts corporate value and minimizes cost.  Each investment in patents should further a specific—and important—goal of a company.  Prioritizing protection for key innovations, and building robust protection around them, is imperative to ensure that revenue-generating products and services cannot be copied by competitors.

In this webinar, panelists from a leading venture capital firm and one of the world’s largest IP law firms will address:

• How patents affect corporate value
• Why investors and M&A suitors care about patents
• How a patent strategy generates real corporate value
• Risks of patenting without a strategy
• Reducing cost and administrative overhead without sacrificing patent quality
