You Are Advising A Startup Company In Intellectual Property (IP) Matters

You have chosen a very difficult task.

Advising Startup Companies is one of the most difficult areas in IP.

My webpage provides you with materials for a holistic approach, covering all aspects of problems of companies in such an early stage. Often you will have to look into bare survival issues before you can look closer into IP issues.

Before you start advising in this area, find out why startups usually fail. Take this course here: https://ip-lawyer-tools.com/course/why-start-ups-usually-fail/

Please note that Intellectual Property (IP) must always be synchronized with the marketing efforts of a startup company. Course #10 of my Patent Strategy Basic course explains this for the area of patents. This applies in principle to all IP rights.
