Intellectual Property for General Practitioners

Any attorney with a general practice is likely to encounter numerous intellectual property issues of varying complexity throughout their career. In this program, intellectual property attorney Eric Hanscom has assembled a group of attorneys practicing in different areas for a round table discussion of common IP issues, case examples, and business considerations aimed at helping a general practitioner counsel clients on IP issues. Among the topics discussed are trade secrets, utility vs. design patents, patent prosecution and enforcement, ownership & estate planning considerations, state & federal trademarks, immigration issues, copyright protection, & copyright infringement.
