There is a never-ending debate about the role of IP in securing investments and getting a startup off the ground: Should I get a patent? Do trademarks matter? Do VCs care about IP? Join APABA Silicon Valley and Finnegan LLP for a panel discussion with experienced VCs, founders, and IP attorneys who will address these and many other questions about whether IP matters in securing venture capital funding, and the dos and don’ts for startups seeking to leverage their IP to secure investments.

The panelists will be:

  • Srinivas Ananth, Director at Intel Capital

  • Guru Chahal, Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners

  • Steven Hong, CEO/Co-Founder of Oculii

  • Benjamin Jun, CEO of HVF Labs
