Practical Intellectual Property: Protecting Ideas and Securing Investment

At 2pm, our talk will offer practical, clear advice on how to secure intellectual property, how to best make use of intellectual property, and how to address many of the legal issues encountered by technology companies.

Topics covered will include:

●  Protecting your technology with patents, designs and copyright.
