Upcoming Webinar: Patents for Entrepreneurs – Patent Mining EU

Ola Wassvik
Serial entrepreneur, CCO & Co-founder of Lightbringer

Your best patent ideas are already hiding in your development history. Most founders just don't know how to find them.

Join serial entrepreneur and IP strategist Ola Wassvik for a 30-minute masterclass on how to build a repeatable patent mining pipeline. Capture the right IP at the right time, before it's too late to protect it. Ola has managed over 300 patent families and raised more than €84M across deep tech ventures.

Join us live on 16 April 2026 at 15:00 CET / 10:00 AM ET.  Seats are limited, register now to secure your spot.

Sound Familiar?
  • You've shipped a product and only later realised you had patentable innovations you never captured
  • Your team asks "what did we invent?" and gets blank stares, so nothing ever gets filed
  • You're not sure which trade secrets deserve a patent and which should stay secret
  • You're accumulating filings without a framework, ending up with a portfolio that feels random rather than strategic
  • Your engineers think they're "just combining existing ideas" and your IP pipeline is emptier than it should be

Patent Mining isn't just for IP lawyers. It's a discipline every technical founder needs. Until now, nobody's taught it this way.

About the Host

Ola Wassvik, is a serial entrepreneur and IP strategist who has managed over 300 patent families and raised more than €84 million. Drawing on real world experience advising deep tech founders across funding stages, Ola translates patent theory into clear business decisions you can actually use. This session replaces guesswork with concrete rules of thumb that tie patent spend, portfolio size, and geographic coverage directly to funding, revenue, and go to market reality.

This is for you if you are a:
  • Founder, CEO, or CTO at a deep tech company in biotech, robotics, hardware, or industrial tech
  • Sitting on technical know-how you know is valuable but haven't turned into filed IP yet
  • Preparing for a Series A or B raise and need a credible IP story, not just a handful of filings
  • Building your first patent portfolio and want a structured approach, not guesswork
  • Already filing patents but unsure whether you're capturing the right innovations or missing the most important ones
