I have read that for many start-up companies, patent protection is usually not worth the cost. Is this true? Wouldn't a patent be a prerequisite for VC funding?
We are an IT start-up based in Japan. Our core business is the development of IoT Devices for healthcare applications. Thank you for you insight.

It depends on how valuable your invention idea may be. You should contact a patent attorney in the country where you wish to seek patent protection and discuss this in much detail with that attorney. Some patents are extremely valuable and a must for a VC but other patents can be worthless. The market you cite, IoT devices for healthcare would seem to have very high potential. Good luck!
