Budgets are tight, but protecting your intellectual property—patents, trademarks and copyrights—is essential. How can a company make sure its intellectual property rights are protected while also keeping the amount spent on its intellectual property program within budget?
This 2010 SEMA Show seminar discusses the different types of intellectual property, affordable ways to protect the property and various resources that can help owners control costs while avoiding pitfalls.
Mark your calendars, and attend the seminar!
