SUMMARY:IP Strategy for the Growth and Scalability of your Startup
DESCRIPTION:  \nIntangible assets are now the bulk of a valuation for a company (more than tangible assets). And everything intangible is some form of IP.

IP isn’t just patents and protection from competitors. Learn about how to leverage IP for licensing\, justifying valuation and partnerships. \n\n\nAbout Our Speakers from Seastone IP\nPatrick Smith\n\n\n\nPatrick is one of Canada’s top IP litigators\, serving as counsel in more than 100 reported decisions over the course of his 25+ year career.
