Patents for Entrepreneurs – Part 2: From Basics to Strategy
Are you a tech entrepreneur, CTO, or CEO ready to go beyond the basics and turn patents into a deliberate growth tool? Do you want to understand not just why patents matter, but how to use them strategically as your company scales?
In Patents for Entrepreneurs – Part 2, serial founder Ola Wassvik takes a deeper dive into how patents actually work, and how to align your patent strategy with funding, market traction, and company maturity.
From patent fundamentals to real-world strategy
Building on the first session, Ola breaks down:
- What patents really are, how they function, and how to use them most effectively
- How to think about patent strategy in relation to funding rounds and market validation
- The differences between patent strategies such as defensive patenting versus licensing-driven approaches
- When to focus on patent mining versus patent harvesting, and why timing matters
Drawing on hands-on experience managing more than 300 patent families, Ola connects legal concepts to practical founder decisions.
By the end of this webinar, you will have the tools and frameworks needed to define a clear, stage-appropriate patent strategy for your company. One that supports traction, investor conversations, and long-term business value rather than distracting from them.If you want to move from ad hoc patenting to intentional IP strategy, this session is for you.
