Abstract

Having good IP protection is much more than making sure you have “filed a patent” on your core technology. Good IP protection involves complex layers of analysis based on the timing of various business activities and decisions, R&D progress, and the current state of the law globally. Devising a proper strategy in view of all of these factors is crucial for success. This seminar will explore the following:

• Patent fundamentals
• How to develop a strong IP strategy
• Why proper inventorship is important
• Common mistakes that inventors make
