Do you want to learn more about how your company can maximize business value from your ideas, technology, and innovations? In our webinar “Patents for Entrepreneurs,” serial founder Ola Wassvik breaks down how startups like yours can use smart patenting to win investor trust, keep copycats at bay, and stay focused on building. In this session, Ola shares what he wishes he knew starting out. As a founder and former CTO of a deep-tech company with over 300 patent families, he’ll walk you through the real-world dos and don’ts of patents. If you want to turn IP and patents from a headache into a strategic advantage, this is your shot. 00:00 - 26:21 Webinar 26:21 - 26:30 Q&A starts 26:30 - 27:38 At what point in a startup’s lifecycle does filing a first patent create the most leverage, and when does it risk becoming premature overhead? 27:38 - 28:41 How do sophisticated investors really evaluate patents today? Are they primarily defensive assets, credibility signals, or optional upside? 28:41 - 29:33 How should I decide where to file patents? 29:33 - 30:33 For fast-moving markets, how should founders think about the trade-off between filing patents and focusing on speed, customer traction, and execution? 30:33 - 31:37 Please talk some more about licensing and how to do that? 31:37 - 32:08 So if you file in the US it means that something patented in Europe will be judged against what it is in the US? 32:08 - 32:37 Follow up: This is considering that there is only a US patent and not a global? 32:37 - 33:39 What are the most common misconceptions founders have about what can and cannot be patented, especially in software-heavy or AI-driven products? 33:39 - 34:33 If I have a very limited budget, where should I spend my first patent dollar to maximize future optionality? 34:33 - 35:37 How early should startups worry about infringing existing patents, and what is a pragmatic approach to ‘freedom-to-operate’? 35:37 - 37:02 From an investor's perspective, is there a patent document equally as good as a filed patent? Even when one has reason to keep it in stealth? And is it justifiable? 37:02 - 37:27 Thank you!
