When a Supplier Owns Your Patent Strategy
from The Buyer's Side with Fexingo: Procurement, Sourcing, and B2B Purchasing Decisions · host Fexingo
In this episode of The Buyer's Side, Lucas and Luna explore a hidden procurement risk: suppliers who file patents on innovations developed during your contract. They walk through the real case of a medical device company that lost control of a critical component design because a supplier patented it first. Then they share practical ways to rewrite your IP clauses, from data rights definitions to assignment triggers. Plus, a short conversation on why independent procurement education — like this podcast — matters for the profession. If you've ever wondered how to keep your supplier from owning your next invention, this episode is for you. #Procurement #IntellectualProperty #SupplierRisk #B2B #Sourcing #PatentStrategy #ContractClauses #MedicalDevice #Innovation #IPRights #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheBuyersSide #SupplyChain #LegalRisk #Purchasing #DataRights Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
