“However,” the WBDC says, “start-up businesses and entrepreneurs often fail to take the basic steps needed to protect core, and most valuable assets.”
During the one-session course, attendees will learn the basics about intellectual property rights including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, and avoiding potential pitfalls.
