An NY Tech Week panel + Q&A hosted by ZeroToIP Most deep tech and AI founders treat IP as paperwork — something to get to before the next round, handled by outside counsel, forgotten until diligence. Meanwhile, the companies that treat their patent portfolio as a financial instrument are raising at multiples their competitors can't touch. What actually changed: AI has rewritten what's patentable, what should stay a trade secret, and how investors diligence a moat. Post-Thaler, post-2024 USPTO guidance on AI-assisted inventions, the rules your lawyer learned in 2019 aren't the rules anymore. The founders who understand this are repricing their companies. The ones who don't are leaving a multiple on the table. Join us for a candid panel with VCs who actually diligence IP, GCs from later-stage deep tech companies, and AI-native founders who've navigated the patent-or-trade-secret decision — moderated for honesty, not PR. You'll leave with: A concrete sense of how IP moves valuation at Series A through C A decision framework for patent vs. trade secret in an AI stack What to file now, before your next round prices An IP health check you can run against your own portfolio Wednesday morning This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.
