Editor's Notes

  1. Intro Firm & TTG : Tech company representation; separate part of IP group; transactions/deals, including due diligence for VCs and preparing companies for funding. Difference between Technology and Intellectual Property Technology: Code for MS Windows, Formula for Coke, Formulation for Viagra – inventions and innovations IP: Copyright to protect copying of Windows, Trade Secret protects Coke, Patent that gives exclusivity for Viagra – legal rights that protect technology Tech/IP is the Crown jewels for a technology start-up – important to take proper steps to protect Scope : Can be a 4 hour presentation – have less time today Focus on issues related to a new start-up company Help you to identify the most common problems that we encounter Not to much depth in to specifics of the solution
