Building the IP Moat: Maximizing Technology Value on the Path to IPO

An initial public offering (IPO) is more than just a financial milestone; it is a high-stakes stress test of a company’s intangible assets. When the roadshow begins, savvy investors aren't just looking at revenue; they are also looking at the “moat” that protects it. Companies preparing for IPOs must thus organize their intellectual property (IP) for capture, develop portfolios that can survive competitive benchmarking, and prove to the public that their technology is truly proprietary.

On May 19, attorneys Benjamin Elacqua, Scott Flanz, and Jeanel Sunga will dissect how recent IPOs in the tech space leveraged their IP portfolios to maximize valuation, focusing on the strategic hygiene required to get there. Our hosts will discuss the following topics, among others:

• Lessons from recent tech IPOs
• How to move beyond “we have patents” to “our IP protects our specific competitive advantage”
• Organizing internal infrastructure for IP capture
• Strategic portfolio development based on market planning and competitor landscape
• IPO checklist for IP counsel in the 12–24 months leading up to IPOs
