Bring your creations to life. Learn why intellectual property matters and focus on patents

Innovation starts with an idea—your idea. Are you developing your idea into something tangible such as building a brand for your business or creating a product to sell? If so, then you need to know about intellectual property (IP). This seminar will introduce you to trademarks, trade secrets, industrial designs and copyright, and will provide a deeper introduction to patents.

Whether you are creating cutting-edge technology or improving a well-known product or process, owning a patent for it can increase your business's credibility, boost confidence among potential investors, keep your competitors at bay, and help you profit financially from your creativity. Don't let someone beat you to it! Learn what you can patent and how, in order to stop others from making, using or selling your inventions, and turn your innovations into lucrative business assets.
 
Two IP experts from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office will Introduce you to IP with IP success stories to reinforce its importance.
