What Startups Should Do To Protect Their Big Mobile Application Idea? The Imp...Thomas O. Dubuisson
In today's knowledge economy, intellectual property rights (hereafter "IP") are very important and powerful.
Unfortunately for (young) entrepreneur's, it's not always the first thing that will cross your mind when you start a business. Indeed, you get excited by your project, you have a multitude of activities and issues that you have to deal with, you start to spread your idea everywhere, etc.
These lines (pages) will help you to be aware of the crucial importance of IP in your business (plan). You should strongly consider all these specific IP tools (patent, trademark, design protection, copyright, etc) before launching your mobile app.
This slide deck is prepared by David Boag of Boag Law for a CoInvent seminar. This event gives an overview of the patenting process for small business owners and startups.
This presentation examined the role of Material Transfer Agreements in bioprospecting relationships. Also covered were issues on benefits sharing under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the implementation of the CBD.
2011 Silicon Flatirons IP (Crash Course) For EntrepreneurersJason Haislmaier
Intellectual Property Crash Course for Entrepreneurs (February 22, 2011) presentation at the Wolf Law Building at the University of Colorado (Boulder, CO)
This IP Strategy Overview was presented at a conference of innovators at Georgia Tech's College of Architecture in October 2013. The goal of this presentation is to go beyond the usual lawyer-generated content to highlight not only the positive aspects of IP, but also to give a reality check as to the likely ROI of investment in protection. A basic overview of IP (patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets) is provided. Additionally, commonly overlooked forms of intangible asset value are presented. A case study of an innovation protection strategy is highlighted. Recommendations for business relevant IP and patent protection strategies are also included.
This short presentation provides innovators and entrepreneurs with an overview of the basics of patent and IP protection from a business perspective. The aim and goal is to introduce non-patent experts to topics that, when properly introduced into their organizations, can help reduce risk and maximize the return on innovation investment. Some myths are dispelled in the presentation, also.

Prenuptial Patenting: Responsible Engagement with Engineering FirmsAurora Consulting
You have your big idea and now it’s time to breathe it into existence, but you need some help with the development. Like many others, you may turn to the aid of an engineering firm or dev shop. This relationship is a marriage of sorts. But it’s a marriage that is designed to inevitably end in divorce. How cleanly, smoothly, and successfully this separation goes depends on the steps that you take before it officially begins.
Dr. Ashley Sloat, President and Director of Patent Strategy at Aurora, leads a discussion into Responsible Engagement with Engineering Firms, or what we affectionately refer to here as “Prenuptial Patenting”. Ashley and our all star patent panel walk you down the aisle and explore everything you need to know to experience marital bliss and an amicable divorce with your engineering partners. This talk covers the full life cycle from vetting partners to post development concerns and everything in between – with particular focus on relationship complexities like IP ownership, assignment from engineering firm inventors back to you, and how to avoid the traps of viral IP.

Getting Bought by Google: Or another technology heavyweight - MaRS Best Pract...MaRS Discovery District
What do technology majors or other desirable purchasers really seek? What do they value that would not be obvious unless you had been through such a deal? How can past success be replicated? Does IP really matter? And most importantly, how does one build a strong valuation?
Using practical case studies, this presentation focuses on aspects of acquisitions that may be new to many entrepreneurs.

Think Ahead About IP
1. Think Ahead About IP
March 16, 2011

& Industry Research Alliances (IPIRA)
Science, Technology & Engineering Policy Group
UC Berkeley
2. Think Ahead -- Overview
“I think we have something here! Now what?”
Questions about inventions,
commercial interest, and
intellectual property ("IP")
strategy are often
contemplated late in a
research project when an
exciting new discovery
emerges.
3. Think Ahead – Overview 2
Some questions can be asked
early, even in planning a new
research project.
In this seminar, we’ll explore a few questions
to help guide your research planning.
4. Snags to Avoid
Things We Sometimes See…
• Did you publish before protecting IP? Bar to patentability.
• Does your discovery rely on encumbered background
technology?
• Did that software or data license have strings attached?
• Did your free 3rd party software have reach-through
obligations? (Like GPL)
• Did those incoming materials have strings attached?
• Did you promise the same results to multiple parties?
• Did you want to license the invention and collect
royalties?
• Do you want to start a company?
5. Think Ahead…Some Questions
Problems Now Reframed as Questions…
• How do you envision commercializing or disseminating the technology?
– Protect IP and license (exclusively, non-exclusively)
– Open dissemination, defensive publication
• Who are the researchers are on your project?
– Who might your co-inventors / co-creators be?
– What is the culture of your college / department / PI?
– Any university background IP
• Use it or design around it?
• How is your research funded?
– Sponsored research agreement (contract, grant)
– Gift
• What implications?
– Any third party rights from research agreement, MTA, software license,
incorporating free code with reach through…?
– Any confidentiality agreements restricting sharing of certain information?
• What is the commercial landscape?
– What industry requirements exist for innovation uptake?
– What do VCs require to make an investment?
6. Think Ahead
1. IP Frameworks to Consider
• Articulate your IP strategy early
• Consider a full menu of IP Frameworks
– Exclusive IPR
– Non-exclusive IPR
– Open Source
– Public Domain / Defensive Publication
• Manage project toward your IP strategy
7. Think Ahead
2. Research Agreements
• If you seek a company to fund your proposal, IAO
negotiates and signs a Research Agreement.
• Common Issues:
– Intellectual Property Rights
– Materials, Data, Software
– Freedom to publish
– Confidentiality
– Control of research, academic integrity
• UC typically offers a first right to negotiate a
license to resulting Inventions and Works
8. Think Ahead
3. Other agreements…and implications
• Confidentiality Agreements
• Material or Data Transfer Agreements
• Software Licenses (incoming)
• Industry Affiliate Programs
• Fellowship Agreements
• Visiting Industrial Fellow Agreements
• Federal or state grants
• Subwards
9. Think Ahead
4. Starting up a company
• If you plan to launch a company using your university
invention, make sure…
– Manage toward the IP rights Start-up / VC needs
– IP rights don’t get encumbered by other agreements
(MTA, software licenses…)
• Doesn’t mean don’t use them; just be aware of terms
– Disclose your invention to the university
– Talk early with the Office of Technology Licensing
– Seek patent / copyright protection before publishing
10. Think Ahead about IP
Some questions
can be asked early,
even in planning a
new research
project.
