Question
We are working on a product which we want to patent. I know that if the technology gets public we won't be able to get a patent for it. However, as a startup, we need to be able to pitch to investors and discuss some details of our product. What do we need to do to not risk our product's patentability?
Answers: 3 public & 0 private
The best strategy would be to file a patent application before approaching investors. However, if this is not possible, like Steven advises, putting an NDA in place would be the next best thing. In addition, you can consider focusing on the advantages and benefits of your product and not on how your product provide these advantages and benefits to try and keep aspects of how your product works confidential during the negotiations.
