"Value creation through patent protection"
US companies are lining up for Brian Rüeger and his two start-up colleagues. In 2000, the Zurich trio created a technology that revolutionised text messaging. The messenger was then mobilised worldwide by AOL and Microsoft. The registered patent became so valuable that the start-up's office was even broken into.
Rüeger, now Rector of the HWZ Zurich School of Business, takes us on a journey through this fascinating business story. It is as relevant today as ever and shows the key role played by the protection of intellectual property.

Join Switzerland's most exclusive founder event! Taking place on the afternoon of the Swiss Economic Forum’s opening day, this year’s SEF.Founder Conference revolves around the powerful motto: "Earn it".
