Capitalizing on Your Intellectual Capital
CLASS SUMMARY
Intellectual capital is the lifeblood of your venture. Of course you want to properly protect your ideas and innovations. But perhaps more importantly you should have a broader strategy on how to best capitalize on your innovations.
This presentation will take you through the maze of intellectual property law, introduce you to some common principles, and dispel some myths and misconceptions, relating to patents, trade secrets, copyright and trademarks. At the same time, we will discuss some real life scenarios around protecting and commercializing intellectual property.
You should come out of the seminar with some basic tools for assessing your intellectual capital and a set of strategies for effectively capitalizing on it.
