Do you have a great new idea or innovation and wonder what your next step should be? Do you have a brand that is growing and needs to be protected?

Come learn about intellectual property (patents, trademarks, etc.) and how it can help your business grow and succeed.

Intellectual property (IP) is a valuable business asset and should be managed as such. Developing an IP strategy will depend on your business needs, goals and resources. It is never too early to start thinking about how, where and when to protect, manage and monetize your IP assets...
