Startups in Hortolandia need intellectual property protection for several critical reasons. First, IP assets often represent their primary value proposition when seeking investment from São Paulo venture capital firms. Second, with Hortolandia’s proximity to major competitors in Campinas and São Paulo capital, protecting innovations prevents unauthorized copying. Third, registered IP rights create licensing opportunities with larger companies in the region. Fourth, strong IP portfolios enhance company valuation during acquisition discussions, which is particularly important as Hortolandia’s startup ecosystem continues to integrate with São Paulo’s larger technology corridor.
