IP pitfalls in the tech industry – lessons from fast-growing tech companies

​Great tech doesn’t fail because of bad code or implementation, but because companies don’t own or protect it properly. From manufacturing and software to AI-enabled solutions and deep tech, IP mistakes can quickly and quietly derail growth. In this session, leaders from fast-growing tech companies will share lessons from their journey and explain how smart IP decisions support successful scaling, fundraising, and exits. 

​The panel includes Jonas Nyvang, co-founder and CEO of STILFOLD, Ted Pender, Senior Legal Counsel at Marshall Group, and Linda Portnoff, CEO of Tangy Market. The discussion will be hosted by Asraa Ziadi, European Patent Attorney at Ström & Gulliksson, and Peter Ekstedt, Partner and Advokat at Advokatbyrån Gulliksson.
