AI is a burgeoning space that provides viable solutions for numerous industries, including technology and biomedical research. Venture capitalists are investing in this landscape to support promising startups. So how are companies leveraging VC to fund their AI efforts?
Many startup businesses acquire IP (intellectual property) assets to reduce the risk of VC investments and enhance company value. Yet Elizabeth Cook says these companies often lack the appropriate strategy to optimize their patent portfolios, so it’s critical to consider your patent categories, their impact on your products, and your business goals. Additionally, since AI can compile insightful data, startups must incorporate this data into their IP assets to identify and increase its value.
