Monetizing Ingenuity and Protecting Your Intellectual Property (IP)

Whether you are starting up a new venture or a small or medium-sized company looking to grow your sales and offerings, everyone can benefit from understanding what makes their company unique and how to protect those advantages – even those that are hiding in plain sight.

We invite you to network with our panel and your fellow entrepreneurs for this interactive workshop where we will explore questions like:

• How do I know if I have intellectual property (IP)?

• How can I keep track of my IP?

• Should I wait for my patent to be issued before launching my product?

• How can I monetize my IP to support further commercialization?

• What is my brand, and is it really reflected in my offerings?

• Can I ever be done with commercialization?

Bring a few of your own questions for this engaging workshop.

Agenda:

• 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM Networking Breakfast

• 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM Workshop
