A tailored course, built for your situation
Stop Rebuilding IP Governance Frameworks Every Quarter
A repeatable system for scaling IP oversight in high-velocity product environments
The situation this course is for
Each quarter, the IP governance process starts from near-zero: templates are outdated, stakeholder maps don’t reflect new roles, legal sign-off loops restart from scratch, and rollout stalls when product teams pivot. The framework never compounds, because it’s rebuilt, not refined. This creates recurring overhead, delays in compliance windows, and inconsistent reporting just when leadership needs clarity. The system should get stronger each cycle. Instead, it resets.
Who this is for
Director-level IP lead in a high-growth software company, responsible for cross-functional governance that must adapt quickly but consistently across product, legal, and engineering teams
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused on patent filing, legal counsel handling litigation, or compliance officers in regulated industries like finance or healthcare
What you walk away with
- A living IP governance framework that persists across team reorgs and product shifts
- Automated stakeholder alignment checklist that updates with role changes
- Pre-built escalation paths for fast legal-review turnaround
- Tool-agnostic rollout plan that works across Jira, Confluence, and external repositories
- Quarterly refresh process that builds on prior work instead of restarting
