Protecting Your Innovations: The Entrepreneur’s Strategic Guide to Patents

Is your innovation a bankable asset or a legal liability waiting to happen? In the high-stakes world of entrepreneurship, the difference often lies in your intellectual property strategy. This is why we invite you to “Protecting Your Innovations: The Entrepreneur’s Strategic Guide to Patents” on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

This seminar is led by Adirek (Derek) Siriwattasit, a Patent Consultant with 6+ years of experience at Tilleke & Gibbins, a top-tier Southeast Asian law firm. Derek specializes in transforming complex ideas into formidable legal protections for both global giants and emerging startups, ensuring your vision remains exclusively yours.

During this session, you will:

• Master Strategy: Choose between patents, utility models, and design patents to fit your budget.
• Avoid Pitfalls: Learn why public disclosure is the "silent killer" of new innovations.
• Navigate Tech: Explore specific challenges for AI and software patenting.
• Defend Your Idea: Use patent searches to ensure you aren't infringing on competitors.
• Scale Globally: Navigate the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) process to protect your innovation in international markets.

Why Attend? For the price of a modest lunch (THB 600/pax), you can gain direct access to the caliber of expertise trusted by international companies. What you take away from this seminar may save you from rookie filing mistakes and prosecution errors that can cost you millions in litigation or lost market share later. Think of this as an entrepreneur’s first and most affordable insurance policy.
