Intellectual property (“IP”) is becoming increasingly important when it comes to business valuation as well as success – especially for tech companies. A well-developed patent portfolio (along with an IP portfolio, generally) conveys a high degree of technical and commercial sophistication to potential investors, customers, competitors, and licensees. It also proves that you value investment in research and development and are prepared to take appropriate steps to protect those investments. Protecting your IP can be time-sensitive; so the sooner you know what IP you have (or will have), the better you can plan, budget, and put the necessary layers of protection in place. 
Justin Sanders will explain this process and will provide you with an introduction to IP (including patents, trademarks, copyright and trade secrets), as well as related issues to keep in mind (such as IP ownership), both in the U.S. and abroad. Come listen to this talk and walk away with some golden nuggets and a plan of action!
