About this Event

At this in-person session, co-hosted with E.blum, you'll gain insights on enhancing your startup’s value proposition and driving growth through strategic use of intellectual property (IP) from founder, legal, and investor perspectives. In today’s competitive business landscape, leveraging IP assets such as trademarks and copyrighted content is important for creating and maintaining a market position and achieving startup success.

Additionally, Christian Gehring will share how ANYbotics leveraged IP for value creation and growth, and Alexander Schlaepfer will offer his perspective as an investor on the role of IP in evaluating and making investment decisions.
