In this special 58-minute episode, Shadeed is joined by Tariq Najee-Ullah, founder of Patent Insider®, former NASA engineer, and ex-US Patent Examiner. With more than 500 patent applications filed and 125+ patents granted, Tariq has helped startups and enterprise-level SaaS companies secure their competitive advantage, increase their valuation, and avoid catastrophic IP mistakes—all without the inflated costs of big law firms.

- How to align your patent strategy with your business vision and market goals
- The “IP disasters” that kill valuations—and how to safeguard against them
- Why patents can be your most valuable negotiation currency
