SXSW 2025

Ultimate IP (Intellectual Property) Workshop

Description:

How do you protect your intellectual property (IP)? How can you leverage your patent to grow your business? Why should innovators and entrepreneurs consider IP protection? Did you know that IP offers territorial rights - there is no such thing as an international or global patent? When used as collateral, a patent increases venture capital funding by 76% over three years, and increases funding from an initial public offering by 128%. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will discuss the different types of IP, territorial rights and the importance of understanding IP for a business strategy.
