Session 5: Patent Filing Strategy: Mapping Your Global Advantage
About the Session
Filing a patent is costly — but doing it wrong can cost you millions and shut you out of key markets before you even launch. This session shows you how to protect your invention globally. You’ll compare major filing routes — from the PCT to direct national filings — and learn how to balance cost, speed, and coverage. By the end, you’ll walk away with a filing strategy tailored to your stage of growth, market goals, and budget — whether you’re a startup racing to launch, a researcher protecting results, or a company expanding abroad.
*Seating for all sessions is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure a seat, we recommend arriving at the venue 10–15 minutes early.
