SCORE - An Overview of Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property has become critically important in the information age as a way to protect brand names, creative content, inventions, and secret processes and formulae. At this Webinar, we will discuss the various forms of intellectual property such as trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets and differentiate among them. We will also look at how each is protected, and what each form protects and doesn't protect.
