A better understanding of intellectual property (IP) – often the largest part of a business value, will enable development of a thoughtful strategy that protects their valuable IP rights while avoiding potentially harmful legal situations. With the help of a seasoned practitioner, a company can prepare for a future funding round, a licensing opportunity, other collaborations, mergers, or an acquisition. A broader approach to IP diligence can help to provide a better market understanding and maximum protection of a company’s IP assets.

There are things that can be done ahead of time, before working with IP counsel, that can prepare a startup for the most comprehensive diligence process while saving valuable time and resources. Clearly defined goals will help focus the IP diligence review on the IP rights that matter most and help avoid unnecessary forays into less critical aspects of a deal.

Hear from investors, startup founders, and IP counsel about the importance of undergoing a comprehensive due diligence review and what startups can do to identity risks and opportunities in their particular market.

This event is part of the Legal Track, Founder Track, Engineering Track, and Product and Design Track during Startup Boston Week 2022. It is perfect for companies trying to figure out how to protect whatever competitive advantage or value proposition they may have (technology, first mover advantage, good branding/reputation).

Please join the panelists afterwards for informal networking and cocktails. Details and available upon request. Please email jmambro@lalaw.com
