Strategic Patent Management for Entrepreneurs

DCN's Strategic Patent Management for Entrepreneurs Workshop reveals simple yet highly effective methods to gain control of your patent portfolio.

This half-day workshop explores how to develop a strong patent strategy, work effectively with patent attorneys, understand and manage risks, and ultimately make solid patent investment decisions.

The Problem

High tech entrepreneurs need a strong patent portfolio to support product development, partnering, and fundraising. But many entrepreneurs lack the experience to forge and manage a strong patent strategy, especially when juggling multiple competing priorities. The result is often a patent portfolio that carries far more expense and risk than you bargained for.

The Solution

You don't need to be an expert to develop a valuable patent portfolio or evaluate the competitive landscape. We'll show you highly-effective techniques to:

• Optimize your patenting strategy
• Maximize the value of your intellectual assets
• Extract valuable competitive intelligence to enhance business planning, fundraising, partnering, and valuation

On the Agenda

• Big and expensive missteps -- and how to avoid them
• A realistic overview of your investment to get from invention to patents
• Techniques to manage IP counsel and cost to increase the ROI of your patent investments
• Extract valuable insights about competitors, vendors and partners

Who Should Attend?

• Entrepreneurial CEOs and CSOs
• Innovators seeking to commercialize proprietary technologies
• Seasoned entrepreneurs
• Emerging entrepreneurial teams
