What is startup patent strategy, in practical terms?
In practical terms, startup patent strategy means filing priority applications on core, defensible inventions as early as possible, deferring international filing decisions until a PCT application buys more time, and reserving trade secret protection for anything better kept confidential than disclosed. Budget and competitive risk should drive prioritisation more than trying to patent everything.
