Description

Intellectual Property (IP) Strategy: Creating Competitive Advantage, is a 3.5-hour course that educates Founders/Entrepreneurs on a proven, practical framework for identifying and protecting Intellectual Property

While IP is critically important to Innovators and Founders working to transform into Entrepreneurs it is often not high on the Founder/Innovator agenda and can be lost in the chaos of other activities. Founders/Innovators are struggling with multiple tasks from securing customers, managing demanding lead users, generating revenue and eventually profit, satisfying investors while raising new funds, recruiting, hiring and retaining key employees, and so forth. The one critical success factor often de-emphasized in this chaotic mix is IP.

Key benefits include:

1. Significant increase in valuation of business by protecting IP and creating exit opportunities.

2. Decrease in the risk to Entrepreneur/Investor investment.

Once you have completed this course you can have an informed discussion with your team and IP professionals (lawyers, tech transfer office). VentureForge will shortly be releasing a follow-on course called "The Intellectual Property Toolkit" that outlines a framework to use in creation of a practical IP strategy.
