Patent Matters
Episode 1 - IP Strategy as a Business Asset
In our debut episode, we explore the surprising and rapidly evolving role of patents beyond legal protection and R&D. CEO Dave Hunt, COO Brad Buehler and special guest Carl Rosen unpacks how intellectual property—especially patents—is now a driving force in sophisticated finance, risk transfer mechanisms, and legal investment strategies.
You'll learn:
- Why patents are no longer just legal tools, but financial assets that banks, insurers, and litigation funders actively leverage.
- How organizations are using patents to unlock debt financing, underwrite risk, and fuel legal finance models.
- The critical role of IP data and analytics in valuing patents and guiding boardroom decisions.
- The growing importance of jurisdictional strategy in patent filings, and how one missed filing in China or Brazil can have major consequences.
- Why valuing a single patent is more art than science, and what it takes to build a portfolio that truly holds strategic value.
- And much more...
Whether you're an IP professional, innovator, investor, or just curious about the intersection of technology and finance, this episode will give you a whole new perspective on the hidden power of patents in shaping global markets.
