How to Get Companies to Pay for Your Patents

Описание: In this video, inventRight cofounders Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss reveal a powerful strategy for inventors: getting companies to pay for your patent.

Why pay for your own patents when you can get your licensee to? Patents are expensive. And to be honest, to truly 'protect' an idea, you will need a wall of intellectual property. When it comes to patents, you need a business strategy.

Stephen and Andrew discuss how to leverage a provisional patent application (PPA) and guide companies to cover full patent expenses. They share techniques to include this arrangement in licensing agreements, ensuring that while the patent remains in the inventor's name, the company benefits from exclusive rights.
