Wednesday June 16 and 23rd/ 6.00pm-8.00pm/ 2 sessions/ $120

Get insider advice on the process of applying for intellectual property rights, which can protect assets such as artistic works, discoveries, inventions, designs and more.  More importantly, find out if doing so is in the best interest of your business. An application eats up time, resources and patience so treat it like an investment: be confident of what you’ll get and how to follow through for maximum returns.

The session will also examine how “copycats” and “me-toos,” thorns in the side of designers everywhere, can be managed to become an asset to business growth.
