Digital NS Business 101 - The "Weird and Wonderful" world of IP

A NUTS & BOLTS INTRODUCTION TO PROTECTING & COMMERCIALIZING YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

• Everybody knows what IP is... Right?

• Everybody knows what Patents are... Right?

• Everybody knows what copyright is... Right?

• Everybody knows what trademarks and trade secrets are... Right?

• Or do they?

In this guided tour through the "weird and wonderful world" of intellectual property, Robaire Nadeau (Kerr & Nadeau) will clarify the basic differences between these important IP regimes, how to protect your intellectual property, how to manage and commercialize it so that all your hard work does not go for naught, and why you can't afford to be indifferent about IP (yours and that of third parties). 

Through real-life examples and direct interaction, Robaire will equip participants to recognize important IP issues proactively to minimize the risks that so often accompany the often inadvertent misuse of this critical strategic commodity... before they happen. And why getting your “IP ducks in a row” now will greatly enhance the enterprise value of your business when the time comes for you to exit out.
