R&D: Risks and Financial needs

Innovative Companies: do not have out a sound track record need years before generating a positive cash flow (no self-financing) their Business activity not understandable could not provide guarantees require a small amount of money Traditional Financial tools Vs Innovative companies INNOVATIVE COMPANIES ARE NOT APPEALING FOR BANKS !

Time Capital ($) Needs START-UP FINANCING SEED FINANCING EARLY STAGE FINANCING EXPANSION FINANCING Company Growth FIRST STAGE FINANCING PRE-SEED FINANCING Finance for Innovation, BA VENTURE CAPITAL The financial gap EQUTY GAP

New Financial tools Vs Innovative companies Seed funds BAs VCs

…But what are investors looking for? Balanced & committed Management Team High growth potentials Sustainable Business Model Suitable strategies: with deliverable goals A clear way out strategy …

…But what are investors looking for? … defendable products!

IP as added value, Why? Legally protected Able to create incomes Competitive Advantages Can be evaluated

IP & Investor needs Investors have the following concerns: freedom to operate PA report possibility for an international coverage clear ownership status facilitating a well established exploitation strategy barriers to entry

Case Studies: the IP diligence in the assessment process

Case A: Patent owned by the company (and not the inventor) World patent Protection of both Product and Process Various fields of applications Project independent by original research team (testing phase) But … Agreement with inventor? Research project consortium agreement? Good patent, unclear situation

Case B: 2 Patents owned by the company Still PCT process, Patenting process supported by Patent Attorney from the beginning Various fields of applications But … Similar technologies covered by patents on the market EPO expert written opinion, 1 positive and 1 with claims Project dependent by original research team clear situation, good patents?

Some ideas: IPR is a strategic leverage, at least to start the discussion Team, market and business model are also essential Innovation finance vs ipr market is just starting in Italy, therefore … Watch out “self made” IPR and look for professional fund managers
