now it is time to raise capital After filing a first patent application and having success with the test group, Tabi decided it was time to raise funding. Unfortunately, the first attempts did not go well. The Canadian VC’s do not see a future in mugtech. “Is it an app?” they would ask. “No it’s a coffee mug” Tabi would answer. Is it fintech? No, it’s a coffee mug. Does it use AI? No, it’s a coffee mug. At this point Tabi ran out of leads. Then, a friend mentioned Al Czervik Capital (ACC).   VC was new to ACC. Historically, they developed condos near golf courses. ACC did not fit the VC mold, preferring physical things, believing there was plenty of room for innovation in the world we “touch”. Also, they did not believe a tech had to be trending to impact society. Sure, trending helped the funding, accelerator and marketing worlds, but it did not determine if the technology was going to be successful. Tabi made an immediate impact when she visited ACC offices. They liked her vision for the technology and patents. In fact, adding a handle to a coffee mug and the initial feedback from her test group really resonated with ACC. ACC also liked Tabi’s roadmap. There were no guarantees, but she had a clear vision for both the physical and intangible worlds. In the case of the latter, she had a plan of developing IP assets around the developments that differentiated her products in the “real” world. #patents #ipstrategy #technology #innovation #CDNtech #CDNIPexp

Israel has one of the highest densities of startups per capita globally and the world's highest R&D expenditure as a percent of GDP – an impressive 5.4% in 2023. The startup culture impacts companies’ strategy for managing intellectual assets. The country ranks 15th globally in terms of the number of worldwide patent applications, yet for many Israeli companies, it’s trade secrets, not patents, which are at the core of their IP strategy. Tel Aviv-based Maier Fenster, the head of Medical Devices Department at Ehrlich & Fenster of the Ehrlich Group, sat down with IAM to give insights into how companies in the ‘startup nation’ ringfence and protect their most sensitive of business assets. “One thing which is different about Israel is that many company owners come from the military intelligence where they got used to the idea of keeping things confidential. They would never want to get their innovation published in a patent application or revealed to the media unless they really need to get a patent or attract investment.” #Israel #StartupNation #TradeSecrets #IP #protection

I always wonder what is the big deal of having patents but if they are not commercialised. Today was an eye opener for me at "International Symposium on Technology transfer - commercialising the Intellectual Property for a sustainable future". Very good initiatives by NRDC - National Research and Development corporation along with USPTO - United States Patent and Trademark Office. I really urge those startups sitting with their patents to explore this opportunity. Appreciate Cambridge Institute of Technology for hosting this and setting the direction for the upcoming startups. #nrdc #uspto #startupecosystem #intellectualproperty

🚀 USPTO Launches "Create and Innovate" Tour! 🌟   The United States Patent and Trademark Office, USPTO, has officially launched its Create and Innovate Tour to empower inventors and small business owners! Kicking off at the University of Utah, this tour will make stops at libraries throughout the U.S., showcasing Patent and Trademark Resource Centers (PTRCs).   These centers are significant because they provide the resources needed to protect IP rights, which are paramount for encouraging innovation and helping businesses grow. During the tour, the USPTO will host hands-on workshops and create excellent opportunities for attendees to connect with others. Additionally, new PTRCss will open in communities that need them most.   👉 USPTO's commitment to empowering local innovators and fueling the spirit of entrepreneurship!   For more information, check the link: https://lnkd.in/dr475Tkn   #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #USPTO #Patents #Trademarks #SmallBusiness
