In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, intellectual property—especially patents—plays a crucial role in determining which companies will lead the next wave of innovation. For investors, patent portfolios can be a powerful indicator of a startup’s competitive edge, technological potential, and long-term value.
Over the past several years, global supply chains have experienced unprecedented instability. From semiconductor shortages and geopolitical conflicts to shipping delays and rapidly shifting trade regulations, companies across industries are facing challenges that extend far beyond logistics.
Patents grant inventors exclusive rights to their inventions/innovations for a limited period of time, allowing them to control how those inventions are used. This can serve multiple purposes, from protecting competitive advantages to generating revenue.
Open-source software has become a driving force behind innovation. From startups building their first prototypes to global enterprises modernizing legacy systems, organizations rely on open-source components more than ever before.
The semiconductor and Internet of Things (IoT) markets are among the most innovation-driven and globally integrated industries today. Chips power everything from smartphones and autonomous vehicles to medical devices, while IoT ecosystems connect billions of sensors, networks, and platforms across borders.
The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI)—from large language models (LLMs) to image, audio, and code generators—has sparked a fundamental shift in how innovation is created, protected, and monetized.
