about this webinarA lack of understanding concerning intellectual property may translate into lost business opportunities. Individuals and companies who do not understand the value of their intellectual property may never realize their true potential in the marketplace. This webinar provides an overview of intellectual property laws in the U.S., including what may be protected and the level of protection afforded.
about this seriesThe United States’ intellectual property (IP) laws have undergone fundamental changes over the past several years, but more changes may be on the way. Clearly, IP rights foster human ingenuity, innovation, and creativity. But some complain that IP rights also enable certain individual and companies to prosper financially more than they should. So, what exactly are IP rights? And how might the affect you or your company. Join some of the leading attorneys in the World, as they discuss—in plain English for the non-expert—the basics of U.S. IP laws.
As with all Financial Poise webinars, each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes, and listeners will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all of the programs.
