"Knowledge is power" and in
today's economy, it is also wealth. Intellectual
property (IP) is often the single most essential
revenue-generating avenue for an enterprise. Avidly
pursuing winning ideas could create new competitive
advantages but should every such idea be an IP? In
this session, you will better equip yourself with the
knowledge of essential IP issues. From the creation
of your ideas to IP, the important question is "why
protect?" It is through evaluating reasons for the
filing of your patent applications that enables you
to understand the true worth of your IP. From patents
to profits, implementation is the key. Learn to steer
your ideas to money-making opportunities today.
