Info:
Patents are considered the jewels for most technology start ups. But sometimes investors and entrepreneurs can become obsessed with IP and overwhelmed by high costs for processing patents. And oftentimes emerging technology start ups are short on cash, but more importantly without clear strategies to deal with IP.
There are many challenges and dangers for start ups and established companies when it comes to IP - think Blackberry. The challenges are many - whether it involves being first to market or navigating the terrain with patent trolls on the loose. A clear focus is necessary to avoid wasting money, time and other critical resources.
