What you'll learn
- A European defence-technology company can own an invention outright and still be unable to do the three things that turn it into money.
- It may not be free to send the application to the patent office it has chosen; it may not be free to show the underlying technical file to the investor conducting due diligence or to the industrial partner that would manufacture the result; and it may not be free to grant the licence on which the whole commercial case rests.
- These are not consequences of weak title.
