We Know IP Matters - Now What? Budgeting for and Growing your IP Portfolio

_{Presented by Fenwick & West and Stephanie Gayden (Legal @ Goldman Sachs)}

You already know that your Intellectual Property portfolio is important—if not critical—to your business. But how do you translate that awareness into action? We’ll address the roles played by different kinds of IP, and how each can be part of a well-formed strategy. We’ll also discuss how to develop and grow a portfolio, and how to budget in a way that makes IP a profit center rather than a cost center. We’ll illustrate how a company can start with a modest budget and determine what IP activities will provide positive cost-benefit within that budget. From that point, the company can expand its attention to IP until the next dollar invest barely provides a dollar’s worth of return. In this manner, the company should always be comfortable that it’s doing what makes sense with IP.

By Invitation Only. Non-Transferable. 1.0 NY/CA CLE Credits Pending.

"Lawyers at startups so often find themselves ‘reinventing the wheel’—the TechGC network helps you avoid that trap. Through the TechGC events and resources, I’ve built a great network of peers who have been critical in my own success and who have become good friends."

"Being part of the TechGC community has been an invaluable resource. As the only lawyer at my company for the first few years of operation, it was extremely helpful to get to know a network of peers who had considered many of the same legal issues that arise at a growing tech startup."

ERIN ABRAMS, VP OF LEGAL AFFAIRS, VIA

Lafayette is an everyday grand café and bakery in ceremony of French cooking at the corner of Lafayette Street and Great Jones Street in downtown Manhattan. Our market-driven bistro menu is a worldly homage to the genre that spans a variety of regions, from Provence to Normandy to neighboring Mediterranean coasts, offering a re-mastery of traditional dishes we love and some signatures.
