Changing the Rules: Understanding Government Impacts on Intellectual Property Rights

The U.S. government is highly dependent on Intellectual Property (IP), the vast majority of which sources from small and emerging companies. Average federal spending on IP tops $150 billion. But the rules for government-backed IP differ markedly from those in the commercial sector. And those rules are complex. Developing an IP strategy to create and maintain competitive advantages in both markets requires a thorough understanding of the distinctions between the two. This presentation will explore those distinctions and explain how to effectively protect your IP when working with the government.

Who Should Attend?

Any innovative individual or company who is currently funded by or anticipates accepting government funds to conduct research or to develop a product or service for either government or commercial sectors. Please forward this email to anyone you know who works with government contracts.
