CASE 1
Time's up!
The startup Alice was creating a product. The guys were totally into it. At first there was simply no money for traditional legal protection. Development is very fast, everything changes once a month. The metrics are still small. We'll register when it takes off, thought the founder.
Team Chuck saw the project on a demo day.
The bad guys did the same thing, patented it. And now they're suing Alice for using their technology.
