Patents and technology: Managing protection for your products
Working with a hypothetical, new product, we will explore various options for protecting the product and its design (i.e., with patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks) and discuss how you would employ them. Our goal will be to develop a comprehensive strategy for the protection and management of the technology. We will also consider how to best manage a portfolio of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Everyone will have an opportunity to participate in the discussion.
