Smart IP Strategy for Life Sciences Startups

Are you and your startup active in the life science sector?

In no other field is a deliberate IP strategy more crucial for commercial success than in the life science industry.

Collaborations with large corporations, other startups, and research providers require sharing your ideas and results with others as well as receiving confidential information which may impact your own activities. Thorough agreements are therefore vital to ensure the optimal outcome of such endeavors for your company.

Moreover, the requirements for protecting chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological inventions are far more demanding than for other technologies. Come and join us and get a deeper understanding of how to protect your know-how and learn about common pitfalls and how to avoid mistakes along your journey. Selected companies will be invited to join a workshop where experts will discuss the following topics:

• Specific patent requirements and obstacles in the field of life science
• Research and collaboration contracts and exchange of information
• Presentation of a case study of a successful startup to illustrate how the IP portfolio was built up in a targeted manner
