Partner Gerard Von Hoffmann authored, “5 Things an IP Attorney Will Make You Do Before You Launch a Crowdfunding Campaign” which was published in Entrepreneur.
Excerpt: When you launch a crowdfunding campaign, you also — literally — launch a lot of potentially sensitive information into the public domain. And, once that information goes live, you can’t take it back.
What’s more, you may be unable to avoid forfeiting valuable intellectual property (IP) if you wait until after the launch to develop you strategy. So, slow down. Take a breath. And then take the time — well before the launch — to strategically decide what you want to protect, and how to optimize your position.
