| Intellectual Property: What, When, Where, Why, and How. TCVN. Intellectual property is becoming increasingly important when it comes to business valuation as well as success – especially for tech companies. A well-developed patent portfolio (along with an intellectual property portfolio, generally) conveys a high degree of technical and commercial sophistication to potential investors, customers, competitors, and licensees. It also proves that you value investment in research and development and are prepared to take appropriate steps to protect those investments. This presentation will provide an introduction to intellectual property generally (including patents, trademarks, copyright and trade secrets), as well as related issues to keep in mind, so that you will be better equipped to identify and protect your intellectual property in a timely manner, both in the U.S. and abroad.
