Importance of a strong IP strategy.

A strong IP portfolio has been proven to increase the valuation of a company by up to 370x. Heres how: 

  • Protecting your intellectual property and blocking your competitors helps you gain control of your market.

  • Monetizing your assets increases the overall value of your company and ensures you're not missing out on hidden revenue.

  • Companies with patents are 10x more likely to receive funding, and typically receive funding more often.
