Q Founder Seminar: Building a Robust Patent Portfolio
A strong patent portfolio is a strategic asset, not just a collection of filings.
This seminar explores how to align portfolio-building decisions with commercial goals, manage IP assets over time, and think proactively about coverage, scope, and risk.
The session will also touch on when and why in-licensing third-party IP can strengthen a broader portfolio and support long-term value creation.
