This webinar will focus specifically on patent filing considerations. Particular emphasis will be placed on determining:

• When to file (including optimising for success in key jurisdictions);
• Where to file (including maximising territorial impact at minimal cost);
• and What to file (including discussing a ‘hybrid’ protection strategy based on patents and trade secrets).

These insights will be of direct relevance to growth-stage companies as they scale up their commercial presence and expand their R&D activities, and it will be explained how such companies can integrate a commercially-effective patent filing strategy with their R&D programme in a manner that is robust, scalable, cost-effective, and attractive to investors.
