What is the Strategic IP Positioning for High-Growth course about?

Legal leaders in fast-moving innovation cycles often react to IP challenges after launch, funding, or conflict arises. The cost isn't just legal exposure, it's eroded valuation, delayed exits, and diluted brand control. Traditional frameworks assume time and precedent, but emerging brands operate ahead of both. Without a proactive IP posture, even the strongest concepts face avoidable risk.
