  • Creating and protecting your Intellectual Property with Devin Miller

    In Devin Miller's own words:

    I just love startups! I established my own first startup while earning my Law & MBA degrees. Since then, I have set up several more startups and enjoyed every minute of it. I have a real passion for a new business model--the prospect of a business startup always makes my heart race!

    I’m an entrepreneur who is also a patent and trademark attorney. I've obtained several degrees including a Law degree (JD) and a Masters in Business Administration. I even have degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mandarin Chinese.

    While working for a large law firm helping Fortune 100 clients like Amazon.com, Intel, Redhat, and Ford with their intellectual property, I quickly realized that there weren’t many good intellectual property legal resources out there for start-ups and small businesses. As an entrepreneur myself, I wanted to help other small business owners learn about patents, trademarks, and copyrights so they can build value into their businesses and protect their assets.

    In addition to founding and running my own patent and trademark law firm, Miller IP Law, I am the co-founder of several startups including a multi-million dollar startup for wearable glucose monitoring. I also run a product development company that helps startups and small businesses with developing their ideas and products. 

    I've been married to my college sweetheart for ten years and we live in Utah with our four children. I focus on being home each evening with my family to help find a balance between an exciting career and a well-rounded family life.

    DEVIN AND I DISCUSS

    • What is a patent?
    • What is a trademark?
    • What is intellectual property?
    • When should a startup protect their business?
    • What do investors look for in a startup?
    • How do you increase the valuation for your business?
