Patenting Tips to Effectively Protect Your Invention --

Presenter: Dave Bassett

OK. You’ve come up with a great idea that’s going to set the world on fire. How do you protect your idea so you can monetize that idea? Getting a patent could be a great tool. But there are some ‘do’s and don’ts’ that you should know before you try to get a patent. At this talk, you will get the following:

• An overview of the patent system and a (brief) overview of some other intellectual property protection tools (copyright, trademark, & trade secret) are available;
• Some ‘do’s’ that are usually necessary to get a patent; AND
• Some ‘don’ts’ that an inventor needs to avoid to keep from making their own invention un-patentable.
