Delivered by
The first session in our 2026 Medtech Skills Online Spotlight Series, this free lunchtime webinar will show you how investors assess your IP and how to position it to support funding.
If you’re developing a medtech idea, securing investment depends on more than the innovation itself. Investors look closely at your patent position to assess risk, ownership, and commercial potential.
This session will show you what matters and how to avoid common IP gaps that can delay or block funding. You’ll learn how investors assess these key areas of your patent portfolio and what to prioritise.
What you’ll learn:
- Know which part of your patent carries the real weight in a capital raise
- Understand how investors pressure-test your patents—and what makes them lean in
- Get clear on the key IP distinction that founders often miss (and investors always ask about)
Key takeaways:
- Why investors care about your patent portfolio
- Understanding what your patents actually cover
- The distinction between patentability and freedom to operate
Who should attend:
Startups, SMEs, and researchers working in medtech or healthcare innovation.
Suitable for early-stage founders and those new to IP – no prior experience required.
