Thank you for being the part of the event.

The things that make your business valuable are often the easiest to copy.

You spent months building your product.
Your brand.
Your idea.
Your process.

But here’s something many founders discover a little too late…

The things that make your business valuable are often the easiest to copy.

Whether you’re launching a product, building a brand, creating original content, or developing technology, protecting your intellectual property isn’t just a legal step—it’s a business decision.

In this HEN Meet, we’ll simplify Intellectual Property (IP) and help you understand what every founder should know before scaling.

🌱 What We’ll Explore

The most common IP mistakes founders make—and how to avoid them
When to think about patents, trademarks, copyrights, and designs
Why timing matters more than most entrepreneurs realise
How strong IP can strengthen funding conversations, partnerships, licensing, and business valuation
Practical first steps to protect what you’re buildin

Why This Matters

📊 Around 90% of the value of S&P 500 companies now comes from intangible assets like intellectual property, brands, software, and innovation.📊 Investors increasingly look beyond products—they look at what a business truly owns.The earlier you think about IP, the easier it becomes to protect your competitive advantage.

💛 Whether you’re building your first product or your next big venture, this session will help you protect the value you’re creating.Because building a business takes time.Keeping it yours starts much earlier.
