About this Event
Your start-up company needs to protect its innovations to break into the market and grow market share, and a strong patent strategy is one of the key components to success.
How will you afford a patent strategy?
How will you figure in patent costs when you have so many other expenses right now?
Join award winning lawyers to answer these questions!
Highlights
1. Timing for filing a patent application favors the first inventor to file a patent application, not the first person to invent – file your patent application early or lose out entirely.
2. Find out which innovation must be protected first – what you can’t live without.
3. Hear about the precautions to take when approaching third parties, such as vendors and possible partners in technological development – protect your innovation from others.
