How does intellectual property help transform cutting-edge innovation into a scalable, fundable and globally competitive business

Marks & Clerk & Cambridge GaN Devices Fireside Chat

As part of Cambridge Tech Week we will be hosting a fringe event on Wednesday 16 September. Come and join us for a fireside chat with Cambridge GaN Devices, Innovation and Head of IP, Ragini Jain and Marks & Clerk Partner, Mash-Hud Iqbal to explore how intellectual property moved from being a technical consideration to becoming a strategic business asset throughout Cambridge GaN Devices' journey - from university research and spin-out formation through fundraising, commercialisation, partnerships and international growth.

Date: Wednesday 16 September

Time: 4.30pm - 6pm

Venue: Marks & Clerk, 62-68 Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 1LA

The discussion will examine the practical decisions faced, what investors really look for during diligence, and how a strong relationship between innovator and IP adviser can help accelerate growth.

Drawing on Cambridge GaN Devices evolution from Cambridge University research, company formation in 2016, seed funding, Series A and Series B rounds, customer validation and mass production, the session will demonstrate how IP can support every stage of a high-growth technology company's lifecycle.
