Great to see the European Patent Office using its expertise and resources in connecting investment ready startups with investors. This is an important step towards making better commercial use of the information that can be gleaned from patents. It's also a nice benefit for startups that are protecting their innovations! With my aerospace hat on, I notice in particular the newly added "space" sector search field.

Thrilled to announce the latest milestone in LeapXpert’s journey of innovation and IP growth: our newest U.S. patent 12,126,581 for Multichannel Messaging Systems and Methods! I’m often asked about the importance of patents—here’s why they’re essential: In the rapidly evolving world of technology, innovation is the lifeblood of any startup. But amidst fierce competition, merely innovating isn’t enough—you need to protect your breakthroughs. This is where Intellectual Property (IP) and patents become crucial. 🛡️ Here’s why IP and patents are essential for tech startups: 1. Safeguarding Innovation 🔒: Patents protect your unique technologies and ideas from being copied or exploited by others. This legal protection helps maintain your competitive edge in the market. 2. Attracting Investors 💰: A strong IP portfolio signals to investors that your startup has valuable assets worth backing. It demonstrates foresight and reduces the risk associated with their investment. 3. Increasing Valuation 📈: Patents are intangible assets that can significantly boost your company’s valuation. They add weight during negotiations for funding, mergers, or acquisitions. 4. Revenue Opportunities 💡: Owning patents opens doors to licensing deals, creating additional revenue streams without the need for further capital investment. 5. Building Credibility 🤝: A robust IP strategy enhances your startup’s credibility with customers, partners, and stakeholders, showing that you are serious about protecting and advancing your technology. In a nutshell, investing in IP protection isn’t just a legal formality—it’s a strategic move that can propel your startup toward long-term success. 🌟 #IntellectualProperty #Patents #TechStartups #Innovation #ResponsibleBusinessCommunication

Sherpas not Gatekeepers in Research Commercialisation. I met Tony Raven last week. Tony was the Chief Executive of Cambrigge Universities tech transfer office - Cambridge Enterprise. A big idea I took from our conversations was that research commercialisation really comes down to two questions from the team working on the spin out. ❔Will this invention/technology be good for the world? ❔How can we help? These questions are optimistic, momentum building and default to the idea of a successful outcome. We need more 'sherpas' in research commercialisation. People that show the way, carry the maps, help those less travelled to understand that we can get to the destination. And then stay on the journey to the next way point, because the road is long. In contrast, we actually have too many gatekeepers who make it hard to begin the journey and then vanish when the next stage commences. I'm not just talking about tech transfer people here. I am looking at you VCs. - I'm a Partner at Main Sequence, a VC purpose-built to create global companies from scientific ideas with the inventors who imagine them.
