What does it really take to become a successful inventor? Stephen Key and Andrew Krauss have been teaching creative people how to license their ideas for more than a decade. During this presentation, they will draw from their students’ real-life successes to illustrate what works and what doesn’t. What do you really need to license an idea? What separates inventors who succeed from those who don’t? How do industries differ?
Stephen and Andrew will describe the benefits of licensing, discuss the state of open innovation, and share the latest tips and strategies to get in to potential licensees.
