THE 1.0 SUBSCRIPTION TARGETS TWO PRIMARY MARKETS

Financial

Does understanding the technology matter? Let’s say a portfolio manager has $50 million invested in a semiconductor memory company. They are busy reviewing the charts, and miss a competitor’s patents that begin to issue around a technology that will significantly impact the memory market and their investment. Understanding the technology is an important part of looking forward.

Legal

A patent defines legal protection around an aspect of technology. To understand the patent and its importance you need to understand the technology. Whether it is during drafting or licensing, or in between, understanding the technology and looking at where it might go is important. IP counsel adds value when they understand technology.

Is this nitpicking?
