Associate Sheena Wang was a guest on the GreyB Talks podcast discussing the convergence of food technology and intellectual property strategies. Sheena joined host Dhruva Sood and fellow guests Eugene Wang, CEO and co-founder of Sophie's BioNutrients, and Shikhar Sahni, Senior VP of GreyB.
As alternative proteins and food technology continue to advance, companies face the challenge of protecting intellectual property while encouraging innovation. Startups often struggle with securing broad patent claims, which can limit competition and slow technological progress. At the same time, consumer skepticism toward lab-grown and AI-designed foods creates additional barriers to market acceptance.
The solution involves strategic IP management, balancing patents, trade secrets, and regulatory navigation. Companies also leverage AI to optimize food production, improve sustainability, and enhance nutritional profiles. Educating consumers on the benefits of new food technologies will be crucial for long-term industry success. In this episode, Sheena, Eugene, Shruva, and Shikhar explore the legal and technological trends shaping the future of food.
GreyB Talks is a series of insightful discussions with industry leaders on the topics that matter most.
