Intellectual property rights (IPR) are all-pervasive in the world of business. Typically, most (if not all) of the value of a start-up company resides in its IPR . Also, the worlds of computer science and telecommunications rely heavily upon patents (including standard essential patents) to protect and monetise technology – the right patent in the right industry can be worth billions. In this talk, the speaker will speak about the types of IPR that affect young entrepreneurs and large businesses working with high technology, the shifting value of standard essential patents, and the ways in which IPR can be exploited through sale, standardisation, licensing, and the courts, in order to make money for innovators (and others).
