Technology | Innovators & IP: Medical Device Founders on the Patent Journey
Thursday April 17, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm EDT
Common House North Room
Navigating the patent process in the world of medical devices is a bit like performing surgery with a blindfold on—except you’re the one wearing the blindfold. Join us for a candid session where medical device founders dish out the keys to creating intellectual property that not only survives but thrives in the unforgiving world of patents. We’ll explore best practices for kicking off and maneuvering through the patent application process, without getting lost in the legal weeds.

And because no one gets through this journey unscathed, expect a few war stories from patent combatants who’ve lived to tell the tale. Learn from their victories, defeats, and everything in between. Spoiler: It’s not all smooth sailing, but you might just leave with a battle plan of your own.
