A Light Lunch Will Be Provided
Whether you run a business (or aspire to) selling products, providing services, manufacturing goods, or marketing yourself online, chances are that an understanding of Intellectual Property should play a part in your plans.
- Keep others from taking advantage of your reputation.
- Protect your ideas from being used without your permission.
- Enter into agreements so you grow your business, and don't give it away.
- Protect client lists, training materials, and other investments of your time from being misappropriated.
- Minimize your chances of being accused of Infringement.
