MATTER Workshop: Securing a Patent — What Every Startup Needs to Know
Patents help attract investor financing, can increase your startup’s leverage with strategic partners and may deter lawsuits. However, in order to secure a patent you must invest an enormous amount of time, money and expertise to prepare a patent application and nurture it through the examination process at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This workshop will help you understand the basics of the U.S. patent system and how to navigate the entire process of securing a patent.
Join this workshop to:
Gain a general understanding of the patenting process
Identify factors that prolong the patenting process and drive up costs
Learn how to avoid obstacles when you apply for a patent
