Phil Sanger started his career as a mechanical engineer before switching to the 'dark' (legal) side in 2005.
This talk will explain the process and pitfalls of patents, how to get them and how much it all costs.
Phil will draw on some case studies to demonstrate what (and what not) to do to make the most of the patent system.
