Product Description
Product Description
Intellectual property comprises the vast majority of many companies’ value—but is also highly vulnerable to loss through misappropriation or inadvertence. Companies need to take affirmative steps to secure and protect their intellectual property. Do you know what intellectual property your business or client own—and what rights they have in it? Are they taking the right steps to protect it? Are they infringing on someone else’s intellectual property? Find out what you need to know about each type of intellectual property, and how each relates to the other; how to identify and handle intellectual property issues and conflicts of interest in typical client situations; and how the field is changing. Although designed for practitioners new to these areas, this program also provides enough depth for those with some experience.
