Intellectual Property Basics for Business Owners Seminar
Linda Thomson

Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission will be hosting a FREE seminar on

The phrase "intellectual property" refers generally to patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. While people sometimes use these four categories interchangeably, they protect very different things and are commonly misunderstood. Failure to have at least a basic understanding of each of these categories and how to use them can result in the loss of significant business assets and of competitive advantage. Don't miss out on this great opportunity!
Location:
SAP&DC Main Conference Room
3 Sheraton Dr. Altoona, PA 16601
Presented by:
Shawn Leppo, McNees, Wallace & Nurick, LLC.
