Peter Corless and Ed Pease will be speaking at the E-Team Stage 1 workshop to discuss IP and incorporation basics for startups.

The session will help innovators:

• Understand the implications of public disclosure and how the law has changed from first-to-invent to first-to-file; how this impacts the customer discovery process
• Have a working vocabulary regarding provisional patents and patent filing strategy and timeline
• Have an understanding of inventorship and ownership
• Recognize that patent strategy is not separate from the rest of the business strategy and much of the same language and concepts should be used in both areas.
• Know the decisions to make in terms of naming, incorporating, and sharing equity among founders in the company.
