Osler x Women Funding Women: Clean IP, strong moat: the IP hygiene advantage

Kick off the year with a founder-friendly “IP hygiene” resolution: build clean ownership, consistent processes and smart protection around your company’s most valuable asset: its intellectual property.

In this session led by Faylene Lunn, a partner in Osler’s Intellectual Property group, and Sara Couture, an associate in the Emerging and High Growth Companies group, we will explain why IP matters, translate practical hygiene habits into your standard operations and spotlight the pitfalls that quietly erode protection and can stall financings or exits or lead to inadvertent infringement of others’ IP rights.

We will demystify core protection tools across patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, trade secrets and software-specific IP, and show how to align your IP strategy to your specific business goals and resources with your business plan to create shareholder value, reduce risks and preserve enforcement and commercialization optionality.

Whether you are pre-seed or scaling, adopting good IP hygiene now sets you up to protect, leverage and clearly communicate your IP story throughout your growth and at exit.
