What Every PI Needs to Know About Laws on Intellectual Property and Patents
On-Demand Webinar. Available in CD, MP3 and PDF Transcript.
You could be sitting on a potential gold mine!
It’s right under your nose, in the form of intellectual property created by you & your lab. Don’t let your invention representing millions in potential revenue sit idle simply because you aren’t aware of IP & patent protection laws and other key aspects of moving innovations from your lab to the market.
Extracting science from your lab and getting discoveries is hard enough, but understanding the patent & IP maze is an even tougher challenge.
Like most researchers, you might be overwhelmed by questions like; are my discoveries patent-eligible? Should they be? How can I best protect my IP? Who owns my IP? Nationally-recognized patent and intellectual property attorney Howard B. Rockman, JD, will answer these questions and many more in a timely 90-minute on-demand conference.
