Intellectual Property and the Alt Protein market: Using IP to attract investment

IP is a key asset for technology-driven companies and is used to attract funding from investors at all stages of a company’s development. Companies that can demonstrate an intelligent IP strategy are more likely to gain investor confidence, whereas any weakness in an IP portfolio can reduce company value and undermine a funding deal. The presentation will discuss key aspects in the development of investment confident IP strategy.

HGF Partner Marie McMorrow and Patent Director Dr Jennifer Bailey will also be attending the event.
