Program Description

Event Details

If you have a business idea, invention, or process, attorneys can provide guidance to patent it, or, alternatively, you may decide to protect it with trade secrets. This session will provide information to entrepreneurs relevant to the patent or trade secret decision. You’ll learn the key features of patents and trade secrets and why, in many cases, a provisional patent combined with trade secrets may be the best strategy for small businesses. (Session designed to provide helpful information but not intended as legal advice.)
Speaker: Tom Swann, Mesa Technology Group, LLC., business consultant
