What is the Patent Strategy for Complex Technical course about?

Even seasoned patent leaders face mounting pressure when innovation outpaces documentation. Inconsistent claim drafting, missed prior art signals, and misalignment with R&D timelines lead to weak grants, re-examinations, and lost leverage. The faster the team moves, the higher the risk of gaps in protection. Without a structured, repeatable strategy, high-value inventions become vulnerable to challenges or abandonment.
