This is the second event in our summer seminar series covering the legal stuff startups and small businesses should know from day one.

For this workshop, we’re focusing on intellectual property, and specifically trademarks and copyrights. This is a scary topic for many business owners, but we’ll dive right in and make this a fun and digestible topic – scouts honor!

What we’re really talking about here is your Brand: your business name, logo, and the unique content your business creates. These things together make up your intellectual property, and we’ll talk about how you can protect your intellectual property and prevent others from profiting off your hard work. We’ll discuss what trademarks and copyrights are, what kind of creations they protect, and how they differ.

It’s going to be fun and informative – so pull up a chair and join in!
