Hello! I realize that this is sort of a general question, but I know that many first time startup founders make a lot of legal mistakes which can be very costly later on or even ruin the company. What are some pointers that you give entrepreneurs to avoid the most common pitfalls?
回答: 2 public & 1 非公開
Adding to Adam's excellent list... A common mistake I see all the time: showing up to a trade show (or elsewhere), making a public disclosure of your product/invention, and not having at least a provisional* patent application filed. Not only does this create risk under under the new regime of first-to-file at the USPTO, but such a disclosure most likely precludes your ability to file a patent application in most foreign countries since they do not have a 12-month grace period as in the US. *In most cases it may be preferable to have a non-provisional filed instead of a provisional.
