The $50M Mistake: How One Presentation Destroyed a Patent | Rich Goldstein

Описание: One presentation. One slide deck. One room of strangers.
And a Swedish cleantech startup instantly lost its patent strategy across Europe.

Most founders don’t realize how fast this happens: the moment you present your invention publicly, your global protection can evaporate. In the U.S., you may have a 12-month grace period after disclosure. In Europe, you get nothing.

In this video, Rich Goldstein breaks down the real-world “$50M mistake” and the exact rule difference that wipes out international patent rights — even when the product is brilliant.
