Are you ready to grow your business, launch your product, or bring your brand to market? 

If so, then you need to know about intellectual property (IP). This presentation, delivered by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), will introduce you to trademarks, patents, trade secrets, industrial designs and copyright, and explain how protecting your creations through IP rights can give you an advantage over your competition. We will also be covering an example of an IP strategy.

A special note: if you attend this presentation and wish to discuss particulars of an invention or other IP related creation you are working on, do NOT disclose any specifics during the open session. You have the option of booking a one-on-one free consultation with the speaker after the session. For those in person, you will get to meet with the speaker after the session, for those online, we will provide a link to book.
