Finding competing intellectual property, or IP prior art, requires the right mindset and adequate due diligence. In your intellectual property research, competitive intellectual property can come from many sources including legacy IP, big strategics, and startups. In this guest Dreamit Dose series, Ben Glenn, a nationally recognized innovation strategist, continues his series on intellectual property strategy for founders with this next installment on ‘self knowledge’. If you want to avoid intellectual property infringement and demonstrate market understanding or proficiency in researching IP that could compete, you’ll need to know basics like how to do a patent search, searching intellectual property, and prior art search discovery. Follow Ben’s intellectual property advice to begin framing in the right way. That’s why self knowledge matters in intellectual property for startups in a short 10-minute Dreamit Dose!
