Ep 15 - Eric Sophir

This week, The Startup Studios Podcast welcomes Eric Sophir!

Eric is a Partner at Foley & Lardner LLP where he focuses on Intellectual Property protections for startup ideas through Fortune 50 clients. Want to know what to expect from a large law firm vs a smaller one? How about when you should speak to a lawyer - at the beginning of your startup or later after traction? Eric shares a master class for founders who may be wondering how to protect their startup’s IP. This episode ended up veering a little differently than our usual conversations because of how helpful Eric is!

Key points discussed in this episode are:

• The importance of working with knowledgeable patent attorneys, particularly those who understand the technology and industry to ensure proper protection.
• Patterns observed in entrepreneurs' successes and failures, highlighting the value of learning from mistakes.
• The experience of seeing many startups succeed and fail, and the lessons drawn from those outcomes.
• The value of clear communication with advisors and attorneys to help early-stage startups navigate challenges.
  

Thank you Eric for sharing your story with us!
