Protecting intellectual property (ip) at startups - Ravi Vaikuntachar, Manage...Lounge47
“Protecting Intellectual Property at Startups” was a highly interactive
one with questions from entrepreneurs leading to much learning for all. Some key takeaways from the
session: 1) IP is not a “ghost” to be feared, but a “friend” to be nurtured 2) Familiarize yourself with all
aspects of IP relevant to your business and your idea. Just being informed helps you manage about 70% of
the risk 3) The vision of the Startup should lead to an IP strategy that allows easy answers to key questions
like – Should I patent or not? Which markets should I file patents in? etc. 4) Myths around IP should be
shattered (example: unclear explanations of ideas to obfuscate full disclosure can leave Startups with a
lack of protection) 5) The philosophy of patent protection should be understood – Governments give
inventors a monopoly for a certain period of time in return for full disclosure from the inventors so that
the next inventor/entrepreneur can execute and push the envelope for the general benefit of society 6)
Misuse of patents can kill a company. Founders should do an initial patent search to ensure that they are
not in violation. 7) Patent services companies are highly skilled (and expensive) but Startups may want to
consider hiring these services because shortcuts often lead to significant exposure 8) Startups that are
bootstrapping, can consider a provisional patent filing 9) Intellectual property is not just patents -
Copyrights, Trademarks and Trade Secrets offer protections that should be considered as well. Indian
entrepreneurs should take IP seriously to build credible businesses.

Introduction to Intellectual Property (IP)
Presentation includes types of IP - Trade Secrets, Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents; Timing Issues for Protecting IP; and Patent Strategy Models
Intellectual property (IP) protection is crucial for businesses seeking to safeguard their innovative ideas, products, and processes. Patents and trade secrets are two primary avenues available to protect intellectual property, each offering distinct advantages and considerations. However, choosing between patents and trade secrets requires a careful evaluation of various factors. We discuss scenarios in which it is advisable to choose patents or trade secrets, helping you make informed decisions about protecting your intellectual property.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Intellectual Property 101 Protect Your Competitive EdgeGreg StarkPatent Attorney - SLWJanuary 30, 2010 Note: Please choose one of the first five “start page” styles. Just delete the other four style slides after choosing.
3. Agenda… What is Intellectual Property Why should I care? Overview of basic types of IP protection With some emphasis on Patents… Apple Case Study
4. What is Intellectual Property (IP)… Intellectual Property (IP) is a group of legal rights that provides protection over things people create or invent. Typical methods of protection: Contract Trade Secrets Copyrights Trademarks Patents
5. Why should I care about IP… Intellectual Property Protection can… Attract investment $$$$$ Or increasing exit valuation (e.g., IPO, M&A) Deter others from stealing your ideas Deter others from entering a market Defend against other patent portfolios License or Trade with others (Cross-License) Provide alterative sources of income…
7. Contracts… Affordable cost to gain protection Protection defined by contract Examples: non-compete terms anti-reverse engineering terms assignment of IP rights Length of time protection lasts Flexible Depends on terms of the contract Commercial Importance always important at some stage of business Enforcement – contract…
8. Copyrights… “Expression” Art, Writing, Music, Movies, etc… Any “work” reduced to a tangible medium of expression Policy Moral rights of the Author Europe Incentive to produce U.S.
9. Copyrights… Free and Automatic Protection is automatic as soon as the work is reduced to a tangible medium… Aspects of Protection Scope - Narrow Term Life + 70 years Commercial (Work for Hire) - 120 years Commercial Benefits Supports entire industries Music Movies etc…
11. Trademarks… Identification of Source Any word, name, symbol, or device or any combination thereof used by a person or which a person has a bona fide intention to use in commerce §45 Lanham Trademark Act (1946) Examples: Google® Coke® Color Brown (UPS) Sounds – Windows Start-Up, NBC Chimes, etc Symbols ® - used to indicate a Registered Trademark ™ - used to brand a product ℠ - used to brand a service
12. Trademarks… Relatively inexpensive to obtain ~ $500 - $2,500 Protection lasts as long as the mark is used in commerce As long as the mark identifies source Use it or lose it… Commercial Benefits Powerful barrier to entry Price support Genericide… Popular marks must police use
13. Trade Secrets… Shhh, don’t tell anyone… Information that not known outside of an organization that provides a competitive advantage Examples: Formula for Coca-Cola (Coke™) Decided not to patent to keep secret FOREVER… KFC’s secret recipe Only 3 executives have access to the recipe WD-40 Guarded in a bank vault Company mixes the formula in only three facilities to maintain the secret
14. Trade Secrets… Relatively low cost to gain protection Some consider it practically free Must take precautions to maintain secrecy Protection lasts as long as the secret remains a secret protects information/knowledge that can be kept “relatively secret” Commercial Benefits Can provide critical barriers to entry Enforcement… Enforcement complicated by variation in State law
15. Patents… Protects implementation of technical ideas Article of Manufacture (e.g., light bulb) System (e.g., cell phone) Composition of Matter (e.g., compounds) Process (e.g., process of making or using) Microwaving Food (Spencer) Search engine (Google) 1-click purchase (Amazon) Types of Patents Utility Patent Design Patent Plant Patent
16. Patents… Relatively expensive to obtain Initial filing ~$8,000 - $12,000 Prosecution ~ $10,000+ Limited term of protection 20 years from filing Commercial Benefits Exclusivity Monopoly Pricing Licensing
17. Patents… What is the standard for getting a patent? New Useful Non-obvious What do you get if you meet the standard? Right to exclude others from the invention for a limited time Not a right to use the invention What do you give up by getting a patent? You have to teach others how to make and use the invention What do you risk by not patenting your invention? i.e., trying to keep it a trade secret Someone else can patent it and exclude you from using it.
18. Patents… Selecting what to Patent? Business Value: What is the likely value of the technology? Will exclusivity provide a competitive advantage? Does the technology align with your commercial products? Legal Strength: What is the novelty over prior art? Business Methods? Exclusivity: Will competitors have viable design-around options? Can infringement be detected?
19. Patents… Patent Strategy - Benefits from Patents Monopoly Pricing Increase profit margins through exclusionary power Extra Income Generate income through licensing activities Access to Technology Cross-license to access other technologies Business Asset Can be used to assist in securing funding or obtaining desired exit valuations Marketing Tool Patent Pending Chilling effect on competition Demonstrated expertise in a particular field
20. Patents… Patent Strategies Aggressive/Licensing strategy Patent everything Expensive up front, but ensures that you cover everything and eventually provides a revenue stream. Blocking strategy Patent technologies your competitors might use Moderate costs but provides essential protection and cross-licensing opportunities if you can identify the key technologies. Defensive strategy Only patent key technologies Lower initial costs, but you risk missing key technologies.
21. Patents… Patent Strategies Fences Patent critical features that are difficult to design around. Keep costs in check while protecting key product areas Land mines File blocking patents, but sparingly
22. Patents… Dealing with a Competitor’s Patents The right to Exclude A patent gives the owner the right to exclude others… …but a patent does not grant any affirmative rights Blocking Patent Someone else might have a dominant patent Freedom to Operate Knowledge of potentially problematic patents may give rise to an affirmative duty to determine whether or not your product infringes Legal opinion-of-counsel
23. Patents… Dealing with a Competitor’s Patents Options for dealing with a “problem patent” Design around the claims Identify claim elements that you can avoid Invalidate the patent Find prior art that invalidates the problem claims Ideally a single published document that discloses all of the claim elements and pre-dates the patent’s priority date License the Patent
24. Patents… Damages for Infringement Injunction Lost Profits Reasonable Royalty Cost of Litigation $2M+ if case goes to trial
25. Patents… Recent Damage Awards $290M verdict upheld on appeal in Microsoft v. i4i (2009) $192M jury verdict in hazardous waste recycling patent suit (2009) $250M damages awarded to Medtronic in stent patent case against Boston Scientific (2008) Settlements $1.35B paid by Medtronic o settle spinal implant patent dispute, purchasing 700 patents (~$2M per patent) (2005) $612M Amount Blackberry-maker Research in Motion agreed to pay NTP in patent infringement dispute settlement.

27. IP surrounding Apple’s iPad™ Trademark – iPad™ IPAD word mark registration at USPTO in July 2009 Registration entered by IP Application Development LLC (likely a front company for Apple) 8 other live Trademark registrations for IPAD on file with USPTO Apple May Face iPad™ Trademark Fight With Fujitsu (Law360 - http://ip.law360.com/articles/146235) Fujitsu owns a Trademark registration to IPAD in the area of hand-held computing device for wireless networking in a retail environment… iPad registered in July 2009 in multiple countries Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, etc… Registrations entered by Slate Computing Likely front company for Apple

32. IP surrounding Apple’s iPad™ Contracts…(i.e. Confidentiality Agreements) Employment Agreements Suppliers Hardware fabrication Product Literature Etc… Partners AT&T Verizon
33. Intellectual Property Goals… Develop a proactive approach toward protecting your intellectual property (1) Make sure existing features are covered Integrate patent filing into product development process (e.g., design review, or even concept review) (3) Watch and analyze competitor’s filings and file blocking patents, as appropriate. Develop a proactive approach to product clearance of your products Identify any problem patents early in the design process Design-around, invalidate, or license problem patents
