In case you missed it, Stephen Robertson recently spoke at the Patsnap Frontier, where he and Matthew Veale shared valuable insights on Turning IP into Financial Leverage. They highlighted how strategic IP management can unlock growth & attract investor interest. The key takeaways were: ✅ Turning IP into Financial Leverage: We suggest auditing and tracking the value, significance and relevance of your IP assets on a regular basis and use AI to identify opportunities to unlock financial leverage. We’ve seen many innovative high growth companies begin with a broad patent filing strategy which looks good for early investors but many of the follow-on international filings then become costly, time consuming and perhaps less relevant later as the innovation strategy moves into a commercial strategy and the initial international filings and territories become less important in commercial terms. Try to avoid falling into that trap and being more selective about your territories and filings in the early stages and pruning the patent portfolio regularly to help manage IP costs.   ✅ Embrace AI for Smarter Decision Making: Deploy generative AI to analyse your patents, model growth scenarios and strengthen IP & commercial negotiations with a new data-driven confidence in your portfolio. If you can broaden this approach to trade marks, software and trade secrets, then this not only delivers internal benefits as you share these valuable insights and analytics with Management and stakeholders but it also offers external benefits by attracting the attention of investors and venture lenders. Smart investors are making investment decisions using big data and machine learning to prioritize sectors and businesses for investment, if they demonstrate strong IP scores, IP tags and differentiators, which investors and venture lenders are using to identify targets   ✅ Communicate Innovation Strategically: Translate IP data into clear, market-focused narratives which can help you secure funding in range of scenarios including rescue funding, growth capital and refinancing situations. Being able to demonstrate some of the key commercial drivers of innovation and attributing value to them from third party demand through pilots and partnerships for example, sends important signals to the market about the potential value of and even buyers of the IP in an upside exit or even a downside IP sale scenario. Lenders and investors want to understand external drivers of demand for your IP and innovation and whether they unlock both growth for your products & services as well as identifying possible third-party demand to acquire your IP in the future, if it’s being offered as valuable collateral to a lender. Smart IP strategies drive innovation, manage costs, and create opportunities to engage investors and lenders.

Defending Sweet Creations This Holiday Season Uh-oh... this holiday tale took a Grinch-worthy twist when dessert brand Pleese discovered that Aldi had released a dessert nearly identical to their product, Freezecakes—right down to the name, flavors, packaging, and slogans. Looks like we’ve got a holiday dessert showdown!   This is a reminder that it’s more than just trademarks. It’s about defending the IP brand dedication, creativity, and integrity that businesses invest in building. Safeguarding intellectual property ensures that innovation is protected.
