Thoughtful intellectual property portfolios and clear procedures for protecting your intellectual property are critical for growth-stage life science companies looking to secure funding. This seminar will help you to better understand the basics of establishing an initial intellectual property strategy and standard operating procedures. The presenters will also focus on how to avoid problematic disclosures that can limit the ability to pursue patent protection and provide strategies for curing unintended disclosures should they occur.

Among the topics to be discussed:

• How to implement a company's intellectual property standard operating procedure
• How to develop a patent portfolio aligned with a company's commercial timeline
• Understanding public disclosures and strategies for avoiding them
• Practical tips for curing unfortunate disclosures using grace periods
  

The Innovator’s Edge is a series of seminars providing strategic and practical advice for legal issues common to growth-stage companies. Throughout the year, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati will host multiple seminars on topics pertinent to intellectual property, corporate law, technology transaction, and employment law.
