(Virtual) CEDC Seminar Series: "Leveraging technology rights for your ideas and your technology"
|
11:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Abstract:
This talk gives technical students an overview of patents and other technology rights, and how these assets can be utilized by companies. Patents and other technology rights are increasingly valuable to businesses, and are no longer limited to large manufacturing or scientific companies. Start-ups and mid-sized firms in numerous industries use technology rights to increase their return on innovation and innovative activity. When used effectively, these tools can lead to significant and sometimes surprising business advantages. Patent rights can enable start-ups and small companies to prevent copying by competitors, earn higher revenue from licensing technology, and compete more effectively against much larger firms. Knowledge of technology rights can provide a powerful competitive advantage and provide many non-intuitive opportunities.
