This workbook provides a guide to identifying your intellectual property (IP). It is designed specifically for entrepreneurs starting technology and biotechnology companies.
This workbook focuses on helping your team identify the IP that your company potentially owns. With a clear understanding of your IP inventory, you will be able to leverage the maximum value from your IP assets.
The task of properly identifying and classifying your IP is not an easy one. However, this guide has been designed to walk you through the process. When you finish its exercises, you will have a complete list of the IP that is important to your business.
Business planning: This workbook will help you identify your IP and how you plan to protect it as part of your business plan. It will also allow you to recognize and address issues about any IP that you do not own but use to operate your business.
Workbooks are comprised of two parts—the workbook guide, which contains instructions, examples and activities, and the workbook template, in which you can write your responses. You can personalize the workbook template by adding your company name and logo.
