How does registering a patent compare to other scientific career milestones? For science entrepreneurs, is it akin to publishing a first paper, landing tenure or securing a grant?
Three scientists who successfully commercialized their research tell Adam Levy about the process, and its significance to them and their fledgling businesses.
Patent lawyer Tamsen Valoir describes different types of patents, the typical costs of registering one and how having a patent can reassure potential investors.
She also outlines some common misconceptions around patents, including the extent to which they do or don't apply in other countries.
This episode is part of Business of science, a six-part podcast series exploring how to commercialize your research and launch a spin-off.
The series looks at investor pitches, patents, technology transfer, scaling up and how to survive the inevitable setbacks along the way.
