How to License an Idea With or Without a Patent

THIS MEETING IS AT TECHSHOP IN ROUND ROCK ON FRIDAY APRIL 15TH

What does it really take to sell an idea? During this presentation, Stephen Key (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenmkey) will discuss the latest strategy he has developed to license ideas using merely a provisional patent application. As laid out in his latest book Sell Your Ideas With or Without a Patent , effective intellectual property demands business strategy. Many of the products Key has licensed required no intellectual property protection whatsoever. But he also knows what it takes to protect a big idea. Key successfully defended his ownership of Spinformation - a rotating label innovation featured on multiple products, protected by 20 U.S. and international patents, and the recipient of more than 13 industry awards - in Federal Court. Learn how to write provisional patent applications for the U.S. market that stop workarounds and therefore have value.
