Startups
As a startup, intangible assets – including IP – represent most (if not all) of the value of your company. Having a plan to protect those assets could be critical to your success.
Why DCC
Our Experience
We’ve worked with a wide range of startups, from very early stage through to launch and scale-up. We also work closely with a number of investors, so we know what is required to get a start-up investment-ready from an IP perspective.
We also know that things can change rapidly in your world, and we can move at your pace.
Our Expertise
Our patent and trade mark attorneys and lawyers can:
- work with you to understand your business and the competitive landscape to formulate an appropriate IP strategy;
- help you to obtain registered IP rights that protect your competitive advantage;
- help ensure that your business owns its IP; and
- prepare documents that you need to protect your interests when working with investors and other partners, such as NDAs, licence agreements and shareholder agreements.
