Fundamentals of Startup Law
This project was selected by NEDO as part of its "FY2023 Project to Support the Recruitment of Management Professionals for University Startups (MPM)," with the aim of identifying management professionals who are interested in starting their own businesses or participating in startup management, and matching them with technology seeds from universities and other organizations and university startups. The purpose of this program is to discover management talents who wish to start their own businesses or participate in start-up management.
Legal affairs are an important factor in the success of a startup.
However, many entrepreneurs have concerns in this area. In addition, intellectual property rights such as patents and trademarks are very important for startups to promote their business, and although they should be addressed in the early stages of a startup's business, there are many cases where a company fails to take any action at that time, and when they later try to obtain a patent or trademark, it has already been obtained by another company. In many cases, the patents or trademarks were already taken by other companies when the company tried to obtain them later.
We are pleased to announce that our startup legal experts, theLaw Firm ZeLowill teach the basic legal knowledge that you must have before and after the establishment of your company.
In this seminar, you will learn practical and useful information on
- Importance of IP, patents and trademarks and how to protect them
- Pitfalls of License Agreements and Joint R&D Agreements
- Legal risks and measures specific to the bio- and deep-tech sector
