“Startups with patents and trademarks are 10 times more successful in securing funding” – The European Patent Office (EPO) and the EUIPO – European Union Intellectual Property Office 2023 joint study.

You’ve spent years carefully nurturing your IP and finally you are rewarded with a portfolio of granted patents. Now what?

Time to put them to work – there are several ways a healthy portfolio can drive up value in an exit or help to secure investment and additional revenue. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of this strategic approach and discuss the crucial valuation process that underpins the success of such endeavors.
