SUMMARY:IP Strategy for the Growth and Scalability of your Startup - Partnered Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nIntangible assets are now the bulk of a valuation for a company (more than tangible assets). And everything intangible is some form of IP. A successful IP strategy is a function of both creating IP value and avoiding IP risk. \nIn this session\, Emilie and Patrick will discuss the ways different IP rights create value\, strategy considerations for securing IP rights\, linking IP creation with your business’ commercialization plan\, how to develop an effective monitoring and enforcement strategy\, and how to mitigate IP risk. IP isn’t just patents and protection from competitors. Learn about how to leverage IP for licensing\, justifying valuation and partnerships. \n\n\nAbout Our Speakers from Seastone IP\nPatrick Smith\n\n\n\nPatrick is one of Canada’s top IP litigators\, serving as counsel in more than 100 reported decisions over the course of his 25+ year career. He has extensive experience supporting clients in the oil and gas\, agricultural\, biotech\, chemical\, and pharmaceutical industries. The Supreme Court of Canada adopted his submissions in Teva v. Pfizer (2012) as the framework by which courts now judge “utility” in patent cases. \nPatrick is a registered patent agent who advises and represents clients in matters concerning patents\, trademarks\, copyright\, trade secrets\, and regulatory compliance. He is a former adjunct professor of law at the University of Ottawa and served as President of the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada (IPIC) for 2018-2019.
