Bring your creations to life. Learn why intellectual property matters.
Intellectual property is a valuable business asset that can help you avoid costly mistakes. Understanding intellectual property rules gives entrepreneurs an edge over their competition, and helps with identifying industry trends, targeting areas for innovation, and connecting with key contacts.
Innovation starts with an idea—your idea. Are you developing your idea into something tangible such as building a brand for your business or creating a product to sell? If so, then you need to know about intellectual property (IP). This seminar will introduce you to trademarks, patents, trade secrets, industrial designs and copyright, and explain how protecting your creations through IP rights can give you an advantage over your competition.
Learning objectives:
• Recognize the strategic value and benefits of intellectual property (IP)
• Understand the various forms of IP
• Learn how to protect and use your IP
• Discover a wealth of IP resources
This workshop is delivered in partnership with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) and offers an overview of intellectual property and patent rights by professionals in the field (lawyers and patent officers with GGD).
