Once such a vision can be articulated, what is also brought into focus are the potential risks associated with third party\u2019s IP blocking the practical steps required to give the vision reality. This talk will provide a commentary on how to address third party\u2019s IP in a practical manner so as to help navigate safe passage for the future and also how to use such analysis to assist with raising investment.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Developing an IP strategy timeline to support the launch of a skin-microbiome product (12:55-13:25)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Developing the technology for a unique and commercially relevant skin-microbiome product, and the associated brand strategy for launch of such a product, is complicated and involves many moving parts. Part of the challenge is to develop a commercially relevant IP strategy, that includes protection of your unique technology, protection of developing brands associated with your brand strategy, and an understanding of third party\u2019s IP that may inhibit your planned activities. When the IP strategy is considered, and aligned with the timelines associated with the other aspects of your business, an efficient strategy can be applied that is cost effective and is not a time-drain on key management when time is most valuable.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"btn-wrap btn-wrap--mb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.global-engage.com\/event\/microbiota\/\" class=\"btn on-grey\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Find out more<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9th Microbiome R&amp;D and Business Collaboration Forum: Europe will be held on 26th-27th October 2021 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
