A chapter in Intellectual Property Management for Start-ups, 2023, pp 237-246 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Jörg Thomaier, Head of IP for a global blue chip, shares his views on how a start-up should take care of its intellectual property (IP), strategically build up a portfolio, and avoid certain kinds of mistakes. The chapter draws on extensive first-hand experience when investigating start-ups to prepare for investing in, collaborating with, or taking over such entities. He also offers insights and takeaways for investors on what to look for and expect from a start-up and its management when getting ready to fund and invest. Some hints for licensors, specifically universities and other publicly funded entities, are also included. The chapter is a valuable read for anyone interested in gaining insights and advice from a leading IP professional.
