Abstract: Intellectual Property Bootcamp:
Lessons in how to start an IP Centric Company
David C. Schwartz, Technical Founder Productive Education LLC


This workshop will explore how to start an IP centric company using the licensing model. The -Big Bang Theory- will be used as a way to look at the time line in taking an idea from concept thru the steps of reduction to practice, prototype, and licensed royalty bearing commercial distribution. The barriers to licensing large corporations will be examined by taking a close look at a typical idea submission agreement. The steps that bridge the inventor/founders goals to successful licensing outcomes will be analyzed with real world examples from the process. Practical tips on preparing and filing the first series of patent applications will be provided:

-the patent rubric will be examined and the trade secrets of this tried and true model for invention submission will be revealed

-the criteria for expedited filing will be looked at and the implications for filing provisional patents and converting provisionals to utility patents will be discussed

-the place of provisionals in the timeline and their role in setting up a license option program will be outlined

-the -chicken and egg- problems inherent in getting the first license and the first commercially distributed product will be identified and alternatives will be shown

-the formation of license options, licenses, and strategic alliances will be assessed in the context of segmented licenses, non-exclusive and exclusive licensing

-cost saving best practice tips in preparing and filing utility patents and trademarks will be offered using real world examples from the BinderBuddies platform

-when and how to engage with outside counsel and the best format for exchange of critical invention disclosure will be analyzed

-the difference between interference and infringement will be explored and ways to use the interference procedure to get your product to market discussed

-how to protect the privacy of your claims during the initial phase of licensing will be shared with a look at when to release the right to privacy in your claims

-the role of international patents in your overall licensing strategy will be prioritized in light of the recent steps in the harmonization of world wide patent laws
