WEBINAR: Masterclass Patents for Entrepreneurs – Part 4: Patent Budgeting

In this webinar, Ola Wassvik breaks down the real costs of patent budgeting for tech companies, arguing that understanding where and when money is spent is just as critical as the patents themselves. He walks through the full cost lifecycle from filing to grant, the shock of PCT and national stage expenses, and how to build a predictable, tiered patent strategy that scales with your business, not against it. → Patents are expensive before you need them, just like insurance, but far more costly if you skip them. → The only number that matters is the total cost from filing to grant. → DIY patent drafting is a false economy that often costs more in the long run. → The PCT and national stage are where most patent budgets start to break. → The 90–95% rule: focus geographic coverage on the countries that represent your core revenue. → Not all patents are equal. Portfolio tiering helps allocate budget where it actually matters. → Tiering decisions are a management exercise, not a legal one. → Difficult geographies like China, India, and Brazil require adapted strategies. → Predictability beats optimism. Always budget between average and worst-case costs. → Demand full cost transparency from your patent attorney, including official fees, translation, and local counsel.
