As businesses search for lower costs, supply chains have evolved from local to regional to global, and are increasing levels for offshoring of component suppliers and contract manufacturers. As a result, new risks associated with Intellectual Property (IP) have been introduced into design and supply chains. Mitigating these risks is essential for the successful commercialization of new products.
Gain 5 valuable insights about:
• IP Leakage and where it typically happens
• Where does it happen?
• Current Supply Chain models
• Key product considerations
• Structural solutions to protect IP

The document describes a team's efforts to commercialize a new protein quantification technology called PLA-Seq. After initially thinking the technology's value propositions of lower cost, faster throughput, and lower sample volume would appeal to pharmaceutical and personalized health companies, the team conducted customer interviews and learned accuracy was more important than cost to most customers. They also found their target markets should be preclinical biotech and academia rather than personalized health or CROs. The team incorporated their business and pivoted their marketing strategy and funding plans accordingly based on learnings outside of the building.
The document summarizes the development of Invisa Bio over 10 weeks as they pivoted between different medical applications and solutions for their self-assembling medical device technology. They initially focused on manufacturing and delivery but shifted to leveraging drug delivery mechanisms. They considered applications in cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics before focusing on brain aneurysms based on feedback from physicians. The company incorporated, raised funding, and began shadowing doctors to further develop their technology to address unmet needs in difficult to reach areas.
(1) The document describes the journey of a team developing a saffron supplement product to address mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
(2) It started with the goal of targeting adults aged 18-40, but through customer interviews and testing, they learned that teenagers were more interested in an anti-anxiety gummy product.
(3) Key lessons included the challenges of building the right team, navigating advice, knowing when enough customer feedback has been received, and setting individual and project milestones. The team is now continuing work over the summer to further develop the product.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
