- What are the first steps I should take to avoid accidental pitfalls?
- What details should I develop and describe to increase the likelihood of obtaining an enforceable, valid patent?
- What data should I provide to maximize the commercial value of my innovation?
- When should I speak to potential partners?
- How much information should I share with potential partners?
- What is my time commitment during the licensing process and the patenting process?
The presentation was followed by Q & A and a networking lunch in the Cafe.
