Intellectual Property Essentials

 

This is a working session in which participants will analyze and compare alternative strategies to protect and exploit their intellectual property. Each participant is encouraged to bring to the workshop a non-confidential summary of their current IP portfolio. Or, for participants who prefer, a sample portfolio will be provided to complete the practice exercises. Work can be done individually or in teams.
