🌟 Had an amazing time sharing perspectives as a speaker at the Global Energy Show Canada in Calgary! 🌍🇨🇦, on the 'IP & Due Diligence in the Energy Industry' panel, by University of Calgary, at the Plug and Play Tech Center Innovation Theatre. It was an honor to speak alongside Martin Ciuk and Neeraj Gupta, with insightful moderation by Todd Hirsch. Todd, the insightful economist, raised thought-provoking questions on IP challenges for Canadian businesses. Neeraj provided a comprehensive overview of the evolving IP landscape, offering intriguing insights and perspectives. Martin delved into the nuances of university tech transfer ecosystem, highlighting the latest IP trends like the Unified Patent Court, EU. I emphasized the importance of protecting trade secrets for startups, citing a recent US case against Boeing where a small aerospace startup won nearly $90 million for trade secret misappropriation (a jury award that could potentially be tripled by the judge)—to underscore that your IP holds value, even without a patent, and even if your startup doesn't succeed. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! 🙌, Kevin Dahl, Leah Nelson Guay, Megan Geyer, Puneet Mannan #GlobalEnergyShow #IntellectualProperty #EnergyIndustry #Innovation #StartupSuccess #IP #TradeSecrets #Startups #Calgary #Alberta
