SUMMARY:Trademark Filing Considerations
DESCRIPTION:Every business has intellectual property needs. Even if your business doesn’t have any unique/proprietary technology\, or creative expressions worth protecting\, or even valuable trade secret information\, your business at least has a name. And even if you have no desire to strengthen your rights in your business name by seeking a state or federal trademark registration\, you should still determine whether anyone else is already using the same or a confusingly similar name before you go to market. In other words\, even if you don’t want to spend the time or money protecting your company’s intellectual property assets\, you should at least take the time to better ensure that you have “freedom to operate\,” so that you don’t get hit with any surprise “cease & desist” letters after you go to market. \n  \nTrademarks play a key role in building brand loyalty and a strong customer base. As such\, prioritizing trademark protection is just as important for start-ups and solo entrepreneurs as it is for enterprise businesses. This presentation will cover topics including types of trademarks\, strength of trademarks\, how to perform a clearance search\, how to create a description of goods/services\, and how to file a federal trademark application.

SUMMARY:Protecting Your Company's IP: What Every Startup and Small Business Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Intellectual property is becoming increasingly important when it comes to business valuation as well as success. Your business could likely benefit from more than one form of intellectual property protection. As such\, knowing the differences between patents\, trademarks\, copyrights and trade secrets can prove invaluable when the time comes to develop strategies that protect any inventive concepts or creative expressions you might develop\, along with any source identifiers you might use when you take your products or services to market. Additionally\, if you have any confidential\, proprietary information\, you may consider developing trade secret protection protocols to better maintain the secrecy of that information. Underlying all of those potential protection strategies are the written agreements necessary to not only ensure that your company’s information remains confidential\, but also that you or your company will legally own any intellectual property you may ultimately try to monetize.  \nThis presentation will provide you with foundational knowledge on each of the four main types of IP (patents\, trademarks\, copyrights and trade secrets) along with some related issues such as IP ownership and common startup mistakes\, so that you will be better prepared as you start and grow your business.
