New: How to increase your business value – even without filing more patents

De-risk your business, close the deal faster and achieve higher valuations.
They say “diligence is where deals go to die!” Get your business in the right shape to sail through due diligence.
How to close the deal quickly and get back to doing what you always wanted to.
Innovation and billion-dollar ambition
For high-growth technology and life science firms, intangible value represents over 90% of enterprise value.
If you have a billion-dollar ambition, you will need to build intangible value and clear IP risks.
You will learn about the 9-step IP Sophistication™ scale and how it links to an IP culture.
Clearing a path for scaling
Scaling is a journey and it brings its own complications. As you become successful, new challenges will emerge. You will become more visible and there will be a target on your back.
It also brings you into a higher league of competitors.
The main objective for a scaling company is to clear the way ahead. IP strategy needs to change from simple protection to a more sophisticated way of interacting with an expanding ecosystem.
This is exciting when it is working. Otherwise, it can be fatal. Learn how to build an IP strategy to clear the way for dynamic scaling.
Strategies for investment, exit or IPO
What is the value of having the following in the context of a significant investment, exit or IPO?
• a pipeline of patent applications
• trade secrets managed actively
• trademarks managed in harmony with your corporate strategy
• a clear understanding of your IP risks and a plan to mitigate them when scaling
• a well-articulated IP strategy
Is it $100 million? $500 million? More?
What is the cost of not having them?
It is easier than you think to make a start, when you have the right framework and some guidance.
