GETTING STARTED - A BIT OF EVERYTHING
Beginners Guide & More
Are you NEW TO INVENTING or PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT? You may work for a company where innovation and product development is key. Or you may have started your OWN BUSINESS as an entrepreneur, where you develop your own products.
Regardless of what you do, you need a basic PRODUCT PROTECTION & PATENT KNOWLEDGE.
Basic product protection & patent knowledge
We have a series of basic courses that you can use to build your product protection and patent knowledge from for example our STARTER KIT. These courses get your bases covered about product protection and patent knowledge, so you can be more confident about product protection and important terms and phrases used.
You can UPGRADE your patent knowledge with other courses later.
Knowledge not just for beginners
The basic courses are also a great resource for you who needs a BRUSH-UP. It can be difficult to remember everything, when you are not working with patents on a daily basis.
COLLABORATION & COMMUNICATION - PITFALLS
Working with others may be key for your product development. But be aware that collaborations are NOT RISK FREE!
Avoid common pitfalls
Learn how to MINIMIZE THE RISKS in collaborations - let us give you guidance of what you can do. Most importantly, we want to explain how to avoid the most common PITFALLS. We teach you how to talk about your idea, invention or product without ruining your chances of protection!
When you talk about things
YOU NEED TO KNOW that whenever you discuss, show or sell your product to someone BEFORE you used one of the 8 Tools, you may RISK bad things happening without being aware of it:
Risks
- IDEA THEFT.
- LESS CONTROL, or potentially loss of control about what is/is not published about your idea, invention or product.
- COPIES OF YOUR PRODUCT.
Any of these risks can happen on purpose or by accident - and in any type of collaboration. You can learn about when to be extra aware in our courses.
Use your knowledge
Use the product protection and patent knowledge you build with our courses, so you naturally will become aware of any pitfalls ahead.

PROTECTION STRATEGIES & BEST PRACTICES
A series of inventions
A PRODUCT that you want to sell is very often a SERIES OF INVENTIONS. It is a bit like an onion with several layers or a layer cake.
Learn how to PROTECT EACH LAYER. Use this to START a protection strategy and DEVELOP it during your product development- This is also called to start and develop a patent portfolio.
What is the purpose?
The GOAL of doing this is to GAIN enough TIME on the market, where no-one may copy what you protected. In this time you can EARN BACK the investment you made & PROFIT from the sales of the protected product!
Standard project
We use a STANDARD PROJECT to exemplify things to build your strategic product protection and patent knowledge. We do this so you can apply bits and pieces of knowledge to the project type you are using.
Specific technologies
In the future, we will provide TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC STRATEGIES, such as in the field of pharmaceuticals, biotech, mechanics, digital inventions and electronics. If you have a suggestion for a field that you think is missing, please let us know by using the below contact form. We are here to help you!

CAN OTHERS STOP YOU FROM SELLING YOUR PRODUCT?
All clear for launch
Are you about to launch? Are you sure that no-one owns patents or other rights that can BLOCK YOU?
Knowing other people's rights should always be a priority. In many technology fields, knowing other people's patent rights early is a form of information or patent knowledge that is crucial for decisions in the product development and sales strategy. In patent-speak this is also called to check if you have "Freedom to Operate".
Avoid misspent money
More often than not, especially for small companies, it is critical to know about potentially blocking rights. Preferably long time before a potential launch, so you avoid spending money on something you end up not being allowed to sell.
Handle the risks
The courses in this category provides knowledge about how to find, evaluate the risk of and handle 3rd party rights, thus rights owned by others than you.
Practice - it is a different kind of patent knowledge
It is worthwhile to spend some time to get used to this type of patent knowledge, as it is an different way of thinking about patents compared to our usual way of viewing them as a protection shield.
