Attract investors with your IP-strategy

Attract investors with your IP strategy

Intellectual property rights, such as patents, can be solid tools in terms of creating a market, good cooperation agreements and finding investors.

You are an entrepreneur and have been working for a long time to develop an invention which is a puzzle cube. You've now reached a point where it's time to find some investors so you can raise capital to scale up your business. One thing that investors usually like is a good strategy regarding the company's intellectual property rights (IP). This applies to both current rights for products, but also which rights are possible for the company to pursue in the future. In the long run, such an IP strategy can help ensure the growth of your business.

You are now faced with a choice about what is important for your IP strategy.

I know nothing about intellectual property rights, such as patents, and do not understand how a comprehensive IP strategy can help the development of my business

I want to develop a market for my current product by stopping others from copying and selling similar products

I will develop partnerships with other companies via licensing agreements of my product
