Deep-Dive into IP Strategy: protect your ideas!
You're solving real problems. You're building things.
But if you’re not thinking about IP early, you might be working on quicksand.
At our 'Deep Dive IP Strategy', we cut through the legal jargon and show you how intellectual property can fuel your growth, not slow it down. Whether you're pitching, prototyping, or preparing to scale, your IP is your leverage.
Here’s what we’ll dig into:
-
How to bake IP into your business model from the start
-
Why strategic patents can open doors with investors, partners, and acquirers
-
How to protect your tech without burning through your runway
-
Real-world tips for making IP a value driver, not a legal headache
-
What smart founders do differently when it comes to protecting innovation
Deep Dive IP is your crash course in making sure your bold ideas stay yours.

Adonis Reyes is the team leader of the specialised team focused on intellectual property (IP) and patents within TMC Europe.
His team assists startups and scaleups across Europe in better protecting their technological innovations with a new approach, increasing company value.
This team of high-tech engineers, trained as IP specialists, possesses in-depth knowledge across various disciplines, including nanotechnology, (micro-)electronics, medical technology and mechanical engineering.
