Many successful businesses develop important assets that are “intangible”: trademarks identifying your products (or services) in the flow of commerce, copyrights over original expressions, or patents to protect scientific inventions. Learn how to protect such assets and ensure your company’s continued success.

Class covers:

• Protecting an original invention through the patent process
• What types of expressions are protected by copyright
• How to develop and protect a valuable trademark
