Is your business banking on your inventions, brand, design or other intellectual property as part of the value proposition and goodwill you are building? Are you proactively protecting those non-tangible assets?

Join us for this workshop and Q&A with IP Lawyers from Bereskin and Parr intellectual property law. We will be covering IP fundamentals such as:

What kind of innovations can be protected?
â Who owns the IP?
What are the key differences between patent, trademark, designs, trade secrets and copyright?
â How do you make an IP strategy?
Do you need to register your IP internationally?
â What's the process, cost and time commitment?
How does AI such as ChatGPT factor into my innovations?
Can you access AccelerateIP or other IP grant funding to help you cover your IP strategy development and protection costs?
How can I collaborate with others and protect my IP?
