Intellectual Property is often among the most important considerations that entrepreneurs encounter. Startups face numerous issues involving developing a product, hiring qualified employees, raising capital, and more. With all of these issues, IP can feel distracting, expensive or contrary to the goals of just getting a product to market before someone else does.

However, IP can be one of the most valuable assets for a startup. Protecting IP can be essential to obtaining funding or preventing competitors from unfairly competing with you.

In this interactive session, Kanika Radhakrishnan will take you through critical IP strategies for you to implement, while providing clarity on the different kinds of IP, why a startup needs an IP strategy, considerations for a startup when formulating an IP strategy and common pitfalls to avoid when protecting IP.
