Developing a Medical Device: turning your idea into a successful commercial product that’s improving detection, diagnosis or treatment - Part 5

The TRO invites you to a weekly series of webinars to explore the key steps towards the development of a medical device, helping to transform great ideas into successful innovations.

You will be guided by successful entrepreneurs and experts through the key steps to successfully develop your medical device idea into innovations that can change clinical practices and improve patient lives. In this webinar series, we will explore how to build a market and commercial strategy for your device, how and when to think about your medical device regulatory requirements, how to design and develop a medical device effectively, how to develop a robust intellectual property and investment strategy, and how to facilitate the clinical adoption of your device.

This is the 5th part of this webinar series.

Navigating Intellectual Property Strategy and Investment
In this session, we will explore how you can develop your medical device so that your intellectual property strategy becomes a true asset, not a just cost, driving your project to its next step. We will discuss how investors, or companies, will look at your data, where the value of your project lies, may that be in patent, design rights or trademarks, and what components will attract investments and collaborative opportunities. Intellectual Property is a core part of any business and despite being an intangible assets has utility in many forms including; as a commercial asset, a tool from which to build and can be utilised to protect commercial value and competitive position.
