Description

How can you best avoid a common blunder made by many
inventors? Prematurely disclosing your invention to investors, customers or suppliers could be a costly mistake! Find out why keeping your invention a secret - using non-disclosure agreements if necessary – is key until you file
your patent application to optimise your chances for success. 


An episode in a weekly pilot series of bite-sized podcasts designed to give inventors, startups, entrepreneurs,
and micro-entities and other businesses the tools to protect their technology with intellectual property (IP). Tune in every Friday at 9.00 am (also on YouTube & LinkedIn) to supercharge your innovation journey!
