SUMMARY:IP Speaker Series: IP Budgeting for Startups
DESCRIPTION:​Intellectual Property (IP) is often a startup’s most valuable asset—and its most unpredictable expense. Without a strategic roadmap\, legal fees and filing costs can spiral\, draining your runway before you’ve even scaled. \n​Join us for a workshop designed to strip away the complexity of IP budgeting. We’ll show you how to transform IP from an expense into a predictable\, strategic investment that fuels your startup’s growth. \nRegister Here\n\n\nWe will go over:\n– ​The Importance of Planning for IP Costs\n– Clarity on Legal and Business Goals\n– Creating a Good Budget\n– How to Sustain your Peace of Mind \n​Why You Should Join\n– Protect Your Runway: Stop overspending on unnecessary filings and learn to prioritize high-value assets.\n– ​Impress Investors: Show a sophisticated understanding of your asset management during due diligence.\n– Gain Predictability: Shift from “emergency legal bills” to a structured\, quarterly budget you can actually count on. \n\n\nSpeaker:\n​Susan Tees (IP Director at New Ventures BC) is a veteran Class I patent agent with experience in Canadian and US patent law and practice. She has over 30 years of experience\, including the preparation and filing of approximately 100 submissions to the US and Canadian patent offices\, or through foreign associates. Susan works with her clients to create their IP strategy and advise them on strategies to protect their innovations as they build their business. \n\n​\nWant more opportunities to engage with IP education? To learn more about how you can integrate IP into your business\, register for one of our final 3 cohorts of IP Pathways.
