Are you interested in learning about intellectual property basics? Join us for an interactive virtual session on Friday, April 2, 2021. In this module, you will be provided a brief overview of the different types of IP (patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights). USPTO experts will:
- Review the patenting process from invention, to application, to issue
- Cover the requirements for patentability
- Explain how to determine whether a provisional or nonprovisional application is right for you
- Discuss how to weigh the costs and benefits of hiring a patent attorney. Space is limited, so register early for this free event.
This event, which will be offered virtually via WebEx, is free and open to the public, so register by April 1.
