During the seminar, Steve Sponseller will discuss why a patent strategy is important for every technology startup that invents new products or services. A well-designed patent strategy can provide a competitive advantage, attract investors, attract and retain employees, and increase company valuation.
Based on Steve’s experience working with hundreds of technology startups, he shares how to create a patent strategy that is unique to your startup. A patent strategy changes as the company grows, goals change, competitors change, and other factors. Steve has worked with several companies beginning at company formation and managing their patent strategy and patent portfolio to unicorn status and IPO (initial public offering). He will share examples of how those patent strategies changed over time to support the growth and value of the company.
This HYBRID event is offered in-person at the Lobo Rainforest Building and virtually via Zoom.
