SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Turning a Great Idea into a Great Business with IP: From Therapeutics to Digital Health
DESCRIPTION:Join attorneys Peter Mumford and Daniel Hudson from Potter Clarkson LLP\, for a practical discussion on the real-world experiences of two early-stage MedTech companies. They will present anonymized case studies that shed light on the complexities of managing intellectual property (IP) for young MedTech businesses. Using these real-life examples\, they will highlight the specific IP issues such companies encounter as they work towards innovation in healthcare. \nDetails on the case studies: \n– Case study one will focus on a MedTech start-up in the therapeutics space\, where Peter and Daniel will explore the challenges they faced in protecting their IP while striving to bring to market a product that will make a difference in patient care. \n– Case study two revolves around a MedTech company developing a novel medical device with a strong digital health component. Peter and Daniel will examine the unique IP considerations that arise in this context. \nThroughout these cases\, they will share practical strategies that have assisted their clients in their journey from idea conception to establishing themselves in the MedTech sector. \nBy the end of the webinar you will walk away with actionable insights that can benefit entrepreneurs\, investors\, and industry enthusiasts as they navigate the IP landscape in healthcare innovation. \nJoin us for an informative session where we delve into the challenges and solutions in the early stages of MedTech innovation. Gain a clearer understanding of how intellectual property plays a crucial role in the growth of visionary companies and the advancement of healthcare. \nSpeaker Profiles \n \nDaniel Hudson\, Partner – Patent Attorney\, Potter Clarkson\nDaniel is an experienced UK and European patent attorney and a partner in the firm’s electronics and computing group.\nDaniel drafts and prosecutes UK and European patent applications in a wide range of technologies.
