Patents and IP, i.e. intellectual property, are not usually part of a company founder's core expertise. Most founders build their start-ups and companies on an original business idea and internal expertise.

However, IP is at the core of any successful strategy for a technology-orientated company. Although IP and patents cannot protect the business idea, in the best case they can protect the technology on which the business idea is based and thus the core of the future company. In addition, IP also documents technological leadership. This is why founders need a sound IP strategy right from the start.
