Investors and shareholdings

Eine durchdachte Patentstrategie ist auch dann wichtig, wenn es um das Gewinnen von Investoren geht. Geistige Eigentum steigert den Wert des Unternehmens und macht nicht selten die Beteiligung von Venture Capital erst möglich. Die TLB GmbH begleitet Unternehmen und Start-ups auch in der weiteren Entwicklung des Unternehmens und kümmert sich um den Schutz des geistigen Eigentums und Know-hows auch im Upscaling-Prozess. Damit haben die Jungunternehmer den Kopf frei für ihre originären Aufgaben im Unternehmen: Produktentwicklung und Kundengewinnung.

A well thought-out patent strategy is also important when it comes to attracting investors. Intellectual property increases the value of the company and often makes it possible for venture capital to be involved in the first place. TLB GmbH also supports companies and start-ups in the further development of the company and takes care of the protection of intellectual property and expertise during the upscaling process. This leaves the young entrepreneurs free to concentrate on their original tasks within the company: Product development and customer acquisition.

Licences

Patents can enable sub-licensing and thus additional income. Patents can also lead to the establishment of partnerships and thus accelerate the business development of the young company.
