Protecting Your Innovation Through Intellectual Property

Innovation Roundtable

October 18, 2006, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

When developing new products or processes, a major consideration is how to protect your new found innovation. Some innovations demand legal protection. Intellectual property (IP) is an umbrella term for legal entitlements which can be attached to certain types of information, ideas, or other intangibles.
