Strengthening the processes of a venture capital investment fund established by an investment firm operating in Turkey and abroad to minimize risks arising from intellectual property rights. Reviewing patents owned by startups in question or at risk of infringement and informing the investment committee at various stages.
Contrary to popular belief, the startup being invested in doesn't necessarily have to be an industrial product manufacturer for risks related to intellectual property rights to arise. Software used by a startup in connection with its operations, developed by its employees, or commissioned by others carries intellectual property sensitivity. Similarly, provisions regarding intellectual property rights in contracts signed by startup founders or employees with various institutions during their previous careers may, in some cases, impose restrictions on the startup's activities.
SOLUTIONS WE DESIGNED

Managing Risks Arising from Intellectual Property Rights in the Investment Process
The risks startups pose in terms of intellectual and industrial property rights are often overlooked by fund experts conducting investment analysis, or the assessment is left to legal professionals who are not experts in this field. Investments made with the hope that the selected startup will grow rapidly and become global often face serious obstacles due to the lack of timely and accurate analysis.
