One of our clients is seeking to develop an IP strategy for a healthcare client who is in the final stages of their business plan. They are in need of a robust IP protection strategy in the healthcare sector, specifically within the technology sub-sector, including artificial intelligence and machine learning. The key asset in question is a CE-marked machine learning application.
Our primary objective is to showcase to stakeholders the existence of a comprehensive IP strategy. Nonetheless, we must navigate certain restrictions such as the inability to patent algorithms in the UK, a point that has been extensively discussed in previous IP consultations. It's worth noting that the client has already taken steps to trademark their logo, and their processes are carefully guarded trade secrets.
The main challenge we face is that many investors are eager to examine the inner workings of the machine learning solutions. In this regard, the inclusion of an IP strategy in the document can provide the necessary assurance and confidence to all interested parties. Moreover, by outlining the strategy, we can safeguard against any potential discussions surrounding the disclosure of algorithms or sensitive application components.
Deliverables: IP protection strategy document outlining the strategy, providing proper referencing and citation, case study of companies and course of action plan.
