Expired What is Intellectual Property?

…and How It Can Make or Break Your Business

DATE AND TIME Wed, Nov. 10, 2021    6pm-7pm

Intangible assets comprise a large portion of today’s business wealth.  Intellectual property, or IP, laws protect those assets through trademarks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and confidentiality agreements (NDAs).  In this presentation, LACC member Stefan Stoyanov of Stoyanov Law P.L.L.C. will overview IP assets, and how they can help you outperform competitors, protect the important ideas that drive your business, grow your business, and obtain investments. Stefan will also explore best practices to avoid costly mistakes with your or others’ IP. Throughout the presentation there will be particular emphasis on the important differences between US and foreign IP laws, which if ignored, could have undesirable consequences.
