What about the IP your patents don't cover?
Every tech company with IP runs on know-how that never makes it into a patent filing.
The failed experiments, the supplier relationships, the manufacturing tricks that make the product actually work. None of that shows up in a patent. If nobody is deliberately protecting it, it's sitting out in the open.
This live 30-minute session help you identify that know-how and make it work alongside your patents instead of leaking around them.
Live on 1 September 2026, 15:00 CET / 9:00 AM ET. Limited seats, register to hold yours.
Does this sound familiar?
- You'd struggle to say exactly which information counts as a trade secret and who's allowed to see it
- Your NDAs, contracts, and supplier terms weren't written with your actual secrets in mind
- Everything valuable lives in one big shared folder, which means it's one careless click away from being not-so-secret
About the Host
Ola Wassvik is CCO and co-founder of Lightbringer, an M.Sc. in Engineering Physics, and a business, sci-fi, and fantasy author. Before Lightbringer, he spent 20+ years as a tech entrepreneur, including as CTO and co-founder of Flatfrog.
Across 20+ years managing patent portfolios, he's seen where trade secrets get lost: through ordinary daily work, through employee exits, and through paperwork nobody checked until due diligence forced the issue. This session is built from that experience, not theory.

- Holding process knowledge, datasets, or scale-up know-how that's never been formally identified or protected
- Heading into a funding round and want investors to see a complete IP story, not just a patent count
