Design, Plant, and Utility Patents: Protecting Your Startup’s Intellectual Property

Questions that our panel of experts will address include:

What are utility, provisional, design and plant patents?
What protections do each of these patents offer to a company, its investors, and shareholders?
What are the tradeoffs between investing in IP, product development, and getting to market?
What are the technology and market differences in the timing of investing in IP?
When do investors care about IP?
When and where should companies consider protecting IP in foreign countries?

This meeting’s presentations and discussion will cover the importance of IP to various people and aspects of startup companies, including, founders, investors, inventors, engineering, product development, and marketing.

A question and answer session will follow the panel discussion, and panelists will be available afterward for responses to individual questions.
