What: When you're setting up shop, or even just considering a new venture, your "secret sauce" can make or break your startup. What is defensible about your value proposition or invention, and how to you arm yourself to pursue and protect this idea? Every successful company, large or small, creates intellectual property. This workshop explores different areas of IP, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as ways they can be used to build barriers to entry, attract investment capital, and license as business assets. The session may dive into cost minimization strategies, international planning, and strategy for outwitting competitors. This session will be peppered with case studies and highly interactive, so come ready to get your questions answered. You can't afford to miss this workshop, hosted by the leading intellectual property law firm in the Pacific Northwest!
