“Intellectual Property Protection for the Startup Company — Developing a Strategy to Protect Your Intellectual Property Assets”

Some types of intellectual property, like new inventions, may be obvious; while others, such as customer lists or business methods, may not be so apparent.  Learn how to identify, inventory, and protect these valuable assets to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
