Innovation is easy. Keeping hold of it isn’t.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Albright IP Managing Director Robert Games is joined by Patent Attorney Will Doherty to explore one of the most overlooked parts of protecting innovation: invention capture.Most businesses think patents start with filing; they don’t. They start much earlier, often before anyone realises there’s something worth protecting.If you’re running an R&D team, developing products at pace, collaborating with partners, or building technical capability inside a growing business, this is essential listening.Will explains:What invention capture actually is (and why it has nothing to do with filing patents)Why good ideas are so often forgotten, lost or disputed laterHow inventorship mistakes can create serious legal and ownership risksThe hidden dangers of contractors, collaborators and university partnershipsWhy unintentional disclosure can kill patent rights overnightWhat a good invention disclosure should include (and what people always miss)How invention capture supports better patent strategy, not just more patentsWhy culture matters as much as process when it comes to innovationThis is a practical conversation about how innovation really happens inside businesses, and what you need in place to stop it's value slipping through the cracks.Figure 1: an IP conversation.
