Andrew Watson of ipVA, together with Bernd Geiger of Triangle Venture Capital Group will be presenting the first in a series of webinars on intellectual property and investing for the European Venture Capital Association on 23 September 2009 at 12 noon UK time (BST) or 13:00 CEST. The debut session will dive right in and tackle Best Practise in IP Diligence for Investors and address:

• what is IP and what are intangibles
• why should we care about IP (varying importance for different types of companies)

The session will then dive even deeper into:

• The real world vs the legal and theoretical approaches to diligence
• IP assets diligence (what questions to ask)
• IP risks diligence (working back from full freedom to operate)
• IP ownership (areas to specifically watch)
• Optional diligence areas (Strategy and Governance)
