Is IP as important as business model execution for fundraising?

質問

I'm told that an idea is worth little, execution is worth a lot. If the chance of getting funding for a startup depends on how good your execution is, but not really your idea, what role does IP play? Does comparatively expensive IP protection really add value to the company?

You cannot patent an idea, but you can in fact patent a product, system, method of manufacture, apparatus for manufacture, and the like. Having a patent, or at least a patent application, is usually a must for investors and funding - and when the patent issues, it provides you with exclusive rights to prevent others from making, using, or selling the patented device, method, or the like.
