SUMMARY:PATENTLY GOOD IDEAS? – IP BASICS FOR ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION:Every business has intellectual property in one form or another, but most entrepreneurs struggle with the fundamental question: how should you invest your limited resources in IP protection? With startups especially, every dollar matters, making strategic IP decisions critical to long-term success.  \nThis in-person seminar covers the basics of intellectual property protection including patents, trademarks, and copyrights, with focused discussion of IP strategies that are important for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and small businesses at all stages of development. You’ll learn not just what IP protection is available, but when and how to make cost-effective decisions about securing valuable protection for your innovations. \nLed by Jake Ward of Ward Law Office, a registered patent attorney whose practice spans independent inventors to Fortune 500 companies, this workshop provides practical guidance tailored to the unique challenges facing early-stage businesses. Jake’s experience includes preparation and prosecution of patent applications, legal opinions about patentability and infringement, and teaching entrepreneurs about substantive patent law and practice. \nThe workshop addresses the real-world tension between comprehensive IP protection and resource constraints that every startup faces. You’ll gain frameworks for evaluating which IP assets deserve immediate attention and which can be addressed as your business grows and generates revenue. \nWho Should Attend: \nEntrepreneurs and founders at any stage of business development \nSmall business owners with potentially protectable innovations \nStartups seeking to understand IP implications for funding and valuation \nAnyone creating products, brands, or content that could benefit from IP protection \nBusiness advisors working with innovation-focused companies \nTeams preparing for investor discussions involving IP assets \nThis seminar provides the foundation for making informed IP protection decisions that align with your business strategy and resource constraints. \nfree for Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce Network\n\n
